He immediately replied in kind, which made me shake my head.

We didn't know if they had three planes or a dozen (and I don't remember hearing about Flight 93 until later in the day, although maybe we did.)Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824445546892392815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420886806115679313.post-10223508358971829112007-09-16T19:50:00.000-05:002007-09-16T19:50:00.000-05:00I was at a job interview with Goldman Sachs at 311...I was at a job interview with Goldman Sachs at 311 S. Wacker (next door to the Sears Tower). The interview was interrupted as we all fled the loop. Being near what would likely be a big target in Chicago, I was nervous. I ended up getting on the wrong L train and had to turn around and head back through the loop. Needless to say, I was upset at possibly dying to some stupid mistake.<BR/><BR/>I retreated to a buddy's repair shop on the North Side and we watched amazed on TV.<BR/><BR/>I never did finish that interview.Federal Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14960038635177299509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5420886806115679313.post-59578719404799533672007-09-16T13:22:00.000-05:002007-09-16T13:22:00.000-05:00So, you just popped up to let me know I was wrong ...So, you just popped up to let me know I was wrong about just about everything?<BR/><BR/>Thanks. <BR/><BR/>:D<BR/><BR/>It's interesting that they got around to airing the episode--especially since it wasn't that long after 2002 that the gigantic blackout really happened, and again, New York did NOT descend into chaos. <BR/><BR/>I don't know why I thought the actors were the same, but as I try to picture the scene in my mind right now, I still see the Heroes guy's face.

I don't think I will ever forget anything that happened that day. MSNBC replayed their live coverage on 9/11/07 to the minute as it aired on 9/11/01 and I sat through most of it again.<BR/><BR/>I might be wrong but I think the episode of Third Watch that you are referring to is "Black Out". According to IMDB the original airdate was May 13, 2002 and it was the season 3 finale. The Season 4 opener was called "Lights Up" and aired on September 30, 2002. I hadn't started watching original episodes yet but I've seen it a few times in syndication. "Light's Up" is scheduled to air Monday morning on A&E so "Black Out" was probably aired this past Monday unless they aired the 9/11 episodes.<BR/><BR/>The actor that played Sully, the gruff cop (the older partner) on Third Watch was Skipp Sudduth. The psychic cop on Heroes is played by Greg Grunberg.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for blogging, I always enjoy reading your posts.<BR/><BR/>(Crawling back into the woodwork again)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
