And jim you were coaching the giants. What a tragic scene and what a tragic event and you guys lived through that. Jim fassel former ny giants head football coach well of course it did we opened the season against the Denver Broncos for monday night football. We got home at about 6 306 45. Landed in newark new jersey . Went to the office, changed clothes, and showered up because we had to go right to work. And all of a sudden the first plane hit. I didnt even know, i was watching tape. The second plane hit. We couldnt concentrate. We werent getting anything done everyone was finding that out. And everything started to break loose. Calls were coming in. Chris Maathuis you dont really think about how it affects every corner of the country with some tragic event like that, doesnt it . Jim fassel former ny giants head football coach yea it really does. You know i got some letters from fans that said, coach thank you for being in the superbowl and being able to be put on the lead game for monday night football, because had we not i stay u and otherwise i wouldve been in one of those towers. And i decided not to go in till later that morning. Chris Maathuis wow tell me about the story where you guys were on the bus and you guys saw. All the cars that were parked there with all the cars taht had dust on them. Jim fassel former ny giants head football coach giant stadium is a parking area where people had to ride the bus from over there to manhattan. Ok. And i always saw the cars in the morning because i was empty. And after that i came and there was quite a few cars in the morning there. And when i left that night at 11 oclock that parking lot was full, and ive never seen a car that left. That happend for about two to three days and i just knew that the people who parked their car there just perished over in new york that day.

But, what were the attitudes of the players . Jim fassel former ny giants head football coach i told the coaches taht i dont want any yelling or screaming at practice. If a guy makes a mistake lets just be calm. Because everybody has this on their mind and we dont need to add to that. But the players handled it pretty well. They went over about a week later and toured around there and i went over there. Mayor Rudy Giulianis office called me and asked me if so i was over there when they were trying to find people alive. And ive been innew york for a long time and you dont get any sun there. Its all shaded with buildings. It was the biggest hole in the sky ive ever seen in my life.

I have an office in my home and straight across you can see it. The Fire Department made four out of some of the remnants of 9 11 and they gave one to president bush, governor pataky, mayor guiliani, and me. And its my most cherished trophy of all time.
