"I was in bed, deliberately oversleeping. I remember hearing a really loud pop-thud sound and thinking, "I don't care if the world is ending, I just need 15...more...minutes...in bed." Of course, I just thought it was a gas main exploding. The picture is from a year and a half later, but that's about what my bed would have looked like after my roommate dragged me downstairs in my nightgown to see the catastrophe. Right below those blue curtains -- that's where I was standing as I watched the second tower fall."
