I worked all day yesterday... at a firearms range. It was interesting to see how many customers mentioned the significance of the day and how it contributed to their firearms interests. Cheers, RickO

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Buried somewhere under the World Trade Center rubble lies a fortune.
Tons of gold and silver had been stored in underground vaults beneath 4 World Trade Center when the building collapsed September 11.
According to the New York Mercantile Exchange, Scotia Mocatta -- the bullion and metals division of Bank of Nova Scotia -- was storing 379,036 ounces of gold and 29,942,619 ounces of silver in vaults under 4 World Trade Center. It is owned by people or companies who bought the metals as investments.
That's 11.8 tons of gold and 935.7 tons of silver.
.
When the vaults were locked September 10, the gold was worth $272.30 per ounce, or $103,211,503.

Is Gold colored yellow?

Hey don't forget this one...
I had come downstairs from my room (#208) at Blanding 3 dorm at UK and saw the first tower hit and figured it was probably an accident like when a plane hit the Empire State Building in the 40s...

And then I saw the second tower hit and knew it was no accident.
BTW, you guys might be interested in the surprising great coverage Howard Stern of all people gave of 9/11 as it happened (go to 3:01:00 in the video to cut to the chase):

Was in the middle of nowhere in Brasil. Saw a guy who was really sad watching a small television. This struck me as unusual, as Brasileiros are usually an optimistic group of people. In Portuguese, the conversation went like this.
"What's wrong?"
"Have you seen the news, it's bad."
"The news is always bad."
"But have you seen it?"
"No, I'm on vacation, I don't want to get depressed."
"Are you Brasilian?"
"No, I'm American."
"You need to see this."
I saw the television, just as the second plane hit the Twin Towers. We both looked at each other for a long time and didn't say anything.
