Roz, My DH had a similar experience.

Josh was in new hire training in Houston TX with COEX. They had started training on Sept 10. I believe they announced in the class what happened in NYC and watched on one of the televisions.

They actually told the whole class that they would be laid off not forloughed. Luckily, they contacted the entire class and added them to the bottom of the furlough list a few weeks later.

He was stuck in Houston for most that week until flights started up again. This was his first big break into the airlines and flying jets. He was absolutely crushed when he got back home and there is a month break in his log book after 9/11.

That day: I woke up to my radio anouncing what had happened, this was just before the building collapse. I turned on the TV and pretty much fell into the 9/11 shock at that point (didn't we all?). Several TV specials during the 5th anniversary actually surprised me. I didn't remember anyone being rescued after the collapse.

Also, my dad was in Washington DC on 9/11. He was supposed to have a meeting across the street from the Pentagon that day. Freaked me out when I couldn't get ahold of him that day because of the log jam on the cell phones.
