I was on a day off from College and sitting down to have lunch with my mother when the breaking news bulletin came up. It was very surreal watching the whole thing unfold, thinking it was an accident first to realising that it was an attack when the second plane hit
I was in new York the previous year with the Irish and American physically challenged Youth team and one of the sponsors offices was in the towers so we had a trip to their office and then to the top floor restaurant, where they had a lunch for us and chats. I always think about that around this time and wonder if they made it out alive.
A lot of the patrons of the Empire state park games(that we were there for) on the American side were service men and women and there was a few that perished that day.
It's always a day of thought and wonder for me.

Famous for triggering Builebeag in her own game!
