Where were you on 9/11
I was just finishing a consulting engagement outside of Boston and was driving to Logan Airport to catch a flight home. On the way in I heard about the first tower being hit. I pulled over and listened some more. Instead of continuing to the airport I called 2 colleagues working just outside of New York. They related that tower 2 had just been hit.
When I heard that I called my secretary and told her to call Hertz and let them know I was keeping the car. I drove to NY, picked up my friends and we drove back to Nashville. Hertz told my secretary to tell us to be careful and take out time.
We returned the car to Hertz at the BNA airport 2 days later. The agent said he was glad to see us. And Hertz never billed us for use of their car on that trip.
The highways were quiet and mostly absent of traffic except for military vehicles. Very spooky.
