Welcome to Erin Mankie's Cabinet of Curiosity's, a production of I Heart Radio and Grimm

and Mild.

Our world is full of the unexplainable, and if history is an open book, all of these

amazing tales are right there on display, just waiting for us to explore.

Welcome to the Cabinet of Curiosity's.

On the night of September 10th of 2001, a man lounged on a couch in a New York City hotel

suite.

Outside his window, the bright lights of Manhattan cut through the darkness.

He could see the twin towers jutting upwards, taller than any other buildings in the city.

The man hadn't felt this good in a long time.

His whole body was exhausted from the show he'd put on a few hours before, but it was okay,

because his tour was finally over, and for once he wasn't alone in his hotel room,

his relatives were there with him.

You see, this man was always traveling, always away from home, always missing his family,

but that night, his mom and his sister sat across from him, smiling and laughing.

I don't know what they talked about, maybe they told stories about when the man was just

a kid, even back then he'd been a star.

Maybe they told him how great that evening's show had been, how excited the fans at Madison

Square Garden had been, or maybe they asked him what he had going on the next day.

If they did, he would have told them this.

The very next morning, September 11th of 2001, he had a meeting on the top floor of the

World Trade Center.
