I saw the first tower fall while getting ready for work. Drove to work and the entire executive staff did a fairly normal day's work, with most of the hourly staff glued to the TV and weeping.
The CEO was well connected in financial and insurance circles and knew over 200 people who worked in the towers. That was an especially hard day for her.
We didn't know then that the attacks had essentially killed the company, between associated businesses and key customers having major offices in the towers. The company had just completed a $7.5 million financing round days before, but effectively shut its doors in December '01.
