LivingColour's "Flying"

The song mentions what a terrific day it was on 9-11. The group "Living Colour" is a NYC band. The narrator,(lead singer Corey Glover) of the song is inside a office at the twin towers when the incident happens. He was about to ask a female coworker out on a date when she looks out the window and screams Oh My God! The room disintegrates upon impact and the doomed lovers are holding hands. Sadly Corey Glover intones "just not the way I planned"...I worked in the area near the the World Trade Center at the Wall Street Post Office on Pine Street (Now Closed) It was a spectacular day. I was a dispatcher on the loading deck. I paid no attention at the time to the sirens in the distance. Later a carrier, Vinney called me down to look up William Street. It was surreal. Bits of paper like confetti was slowly drifting in the sky. Later, a passerby said a small plane crashed into the WTC. We laughed and said how could the pilot not avoid those imposing towers? Later i returned to the deck. Moments later another coworker came running out screaming that another plane hit the WTC. I knew then that something terrible was taking place.To this day I get on edge whenever I hear fire engines in Manhattan.
