...On this day in 2001?
We were on a yearly vacation at Siltcoos Lake on the Central coast near Florence Oregon. We were always on the water before the sun came up fishing for bass. We were close to shore at the far north end of Kiechle Arm casting plastic worms into the weeds. A damn beautiful day it was! Water like glass, sun just had come up over the coast range, some wispy fog barely blowing over the water. A gal in a home made rowing skiff had come out from one of the small private docks at a house on the lake. She told what she'd seen on TV about an air plane hitting the side of a building in New York. How terrible we thought.
Back in those days we would always go in around 9:30, or so, and make a sandwich and sit there at the room and eat. After tying the boat at the dock we walked up to the room and the guest in the neighboring room, her name was Lorretta, came out all excited and was telling us about this airplane/building thing. We turned on the TV in our room to see what was going on.
What a fluke of an accident we were thinking! We watched some more while Jane made sandwiches. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember thinking while watching it happen....Why, couldn't that pilot, have steered away from that tall building, and crashed that plane into a less populated area?
We were there to fish, so we went back out, like we did most days, and fished until mid afternoon. At that time we had no idea the depth of what was happening. We had no idea something like this could ever happen here. This begs the question.
