I have a long history with the Twin Towers going back to the late 1970’s when they were only a few years old.  I have footage of them from my apartment window on Governor’s Island elsewhere on this site in color back then.  I was there in NYC when the towers fell and interviewing for a job on the 76th floor of one of them a few weeks before September 11.  I document that on this site in great detail as well.  I happened to be at this event just as the last few windows were being put on the Freedom Tower and the museum was open for the survivors and first responders.  A friend of mine actually got tickets for immediately after but it didn’t work out for my schedule.  The thought of him suggesting that I go with him was very touching, though, as I don’t get back to NYC all that often these days.
