We live approximately 3 miles from where the plane hit the Echelon building yesterday and aside from a little more traffic getting to Target, we are completely fine.
I drove by the building today as I was out running errands and it made me feel
A) really creeped out. Noticing that, while it was a small plane, it looked awfully large melted into the side of the building. And it IS melted into the building – like a trash compactor smushed it in there. I also noticed things that you couldn’t see on the television. The trees around the building are all blackened and strewn with venetian blinds and pink insulation. There is debris everywhere. It truly is a miracle that most everyone got out alive and with minimal injuries.
And B) I felt so mad that extreme ferver for a belief, whether that belief is political or religious or whatever can drive some people to feel entitled enough to do something like this. How could you ever see this as a solution to a problem? It’s just so wrong. My heart is breaking for that poor IRS worker’s family.
Weird day.
