I was on the 9th floor of the Union County Jail in Elizabeth, New Jersey visiting an inmate. Beautiful clear view of lower Manhattan just across the river. Watched the second plane hit. Went across the street to the Courthouse and listened to the radio as the towers fell. We were numb with shock. Everyone in the Courthouse knew people who worked in the towers. I had been there just the week before. The image of that plane is etched in my memory
