[@SelfRighteousNewAgeLightWorker]

My stepdad was working in Denver when 9/11 happened. He was a welder and the job was supposed to be for a couple of months but he got an extension into September. On that day, after the planes hit both towers and they came down, nobody wanted to work. Grown men and women were reduced to tears, all the guys he worked with, including himself, felt like scared, helpless little boys. Later on the supervisor called it and let them off early. They went to a bar downtown, drank, watched the news reports continuously. Afterwards, one of the guys he worked with told them to bow their heads and led them in prayer. I was 8 years when this happened. He told me all this when I was 16 in 2009. He is no longer here, he passed away in 2021, but this what he told me, all this and nothing more.
