My wife and I lived in a loft downtown Chicago, 3 blocks away from the Sears Tower.
I was getting ready for work. My office was on the top floor of the bank, directly across the street from the John Hancock Building.
My wife had the Today show on and the 1st plane had already hit. As I was watching, the second plane hit. Then the Pentagon.
I called the owner of the company and he already knew and told me not to come in. The police were already closing the streets around our office.
I was contemplating going on our roof and setting a camera up to film the Sears tower, just in case. But decided to pack up the family and get to the suburbs instead.
Hard to believe it was 4 years ago already. How things have changed since then.
