I was a car dealer at the time and I was at a car auction. I never heard a peep about it until I got home around 1:00 PM. A week earlier we thought we'd scored big because we were able to buy a new M3 convertible at list price. They were going for $5k over list on Ebay and our plan was too re-sell it right away. Everyone's wallet snapped shut after 9-11 and we didn't sell anything for weeks. It took a long time to sell the M3 and we actually lost money on it. But I can still remember driving home from the auction and how there was hardly any traffic--I could sense something was really wierd. On the way home I came upon a car accident--a lady had pulled out in front of a semi doing 55 mph and had been killed instantly. She had pulled out from the stop sign I was at and had been pushed about a half a block down the road. All I could see way the semi lying on it's side and the remnents of her car. There was one cop car and no one else around which seemed so weird. I didn't want to see more so I just crossed the road and kept going. So when I got home I was already in a kind of a apprehensive mood. I suffer from claustraphobia and I can remember lying in bed that night and imagining all the people who were probably trapped under the rubble and going through God knows what. It's so strange the way it worked out--people either got out or died instantly, only a small handfull were pulled out of the rubble. A very sad day.
