Top Of The World
On the anniversary of the first World Trade Center bombing, I thought it would be appropriate to remind people what it was like at "the top of the world".

Six people died in that bombing:
John DiGiovanni, of Valley Stream,
N.Y., a salesman parking his car in the WTC garage;
Wilfredo Mercado,
of Brooklyn, N.Y., an employee of the Windows on the World restaurant;
and four Port Authority employees –
Robert Kirkpatrick, of Suffern,
N.Y.,
Stephen Knapp, of Staten Island, N.Y.,
William Macko, of Bayonne,
N.J.,
and
Monica Rodriguez Smith, and her unborn child, of Seaford,
N.Y.
More than 1,000 people were injured when terrorists detonated a
massive truck bomb in a public parking garage beneath the World Trade
Center.
Some of the suspects arrested in the case are closely linked to others
arrested in July in a thwarted plot to blow up selected targets in New York
City, including the United Nations building and the Holland and Lincoln
Tunnels. Umar Abd al-Rahman, the Muslim cleric from Egypt who resided in
New Jersey, and several of his followers were indicted in connection with
this plot and were charged with conspiracy. The case went to trial in
September 1993, and four suspects were convicted in March 1994.

Back in my R&R band days, I worked as a bicycle messenger in Manhattan during the warm months for side money (Mid to late 80's). I went up and down those elevators a bunch. If it was clear, I'd always stop off at the observation deck to take in the view. Spectacular just... doesn't do it.
Standing at the corners between WTC I and WTC II and tilting my head back always made me laugh at the absurdly, preposterously real vanishing point effect that the buildings created.
I get choked up whenever I remember that stuff now.
F#@*
