Well, you can pretty much imagine what I did all day…
First was Attack on America, where I was given approximately 35 minutes to whip up a database script and pages to report ongoing events in New York City as it happened… and the newsroom wanted us going live by 10 AM.
Hey. You know me. Piece of cake.
Then, around 1PM, Our publisher announced on tv about our web coverage, and the paper is printing a special edition at 5PM. entitled: “Terror in the U.S.
Talk about a mob scene. This paper is already a collector’s item.
Then they wanted a “web version”…
That’s okay. I didn’t mind throwing myself into my work today… even seeing pictures of places I hung out, worked, had lunch… now covered in 6 inches of debris. Or AP pictures that was deemed “sickening”, even by my standards.
As long as I don’t have to think about all of the friends and family I have, that work in the financial district.
That I may never hear from again….
I throw myself into my work, and I don’t have to think about this very surrealistic day… which I know, things will never be the same no matter what.
