My brother in law was working for Chase at the time and had to get back to Jersey on one of the ferries being used to triage the wounded. He's never started a conversation about it, so I never brought it up.

I'll never forget when GWB flew over my house on the way to Ground Zero. They landed AirForce 1 at McGuire, then he got in a chopper to get to NYC. There was a pack of 6 helicopters in attack formation flying low, loud and fast. When I heard em, I thought WTF?, then I looked up and knew what it was. I waved. They were maybe 200' off the ground, I guess to fly under radar. Only thing I've seen fly that low around here is a Stealth, but that was much, much quieter and slower.

Looking back I could see many A-rabs hearing that noise, peeking their heads out, and shitting their pants seeing them in the air, much less if they had guns blazing.
