Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was a normal day like any other day. I was getting the kids ready for school/daycare. I work for the Military full-time and decided to take that week off. That morning I decided to put my military PTS on because they are so confortable and through my hair in a pony tail and the darnest thing I asked my son "is today a holiday"? He looked at me and said "No". To this day I still don't know why I said this. After dropping the kids off, I decided to head for the college so I could buy my book for class. I would say it was probably near 8:50 at this time. I started going thru the radio channels and a man came on and said a plane went into the world trade center. I couldn't believe it. I ran in the book store and bought my book. As I was heading back toward Auburn, MA (I felt like shopping that day) I guess all the planes in the air were ordered to land. I was near Worcester air port and the planes were coming in. I have never seen so many big airplanes coming in all at once. It was a very scary site. The people on the radio were at this time reporting another plane going into the World trade center. I knew right then we were under attach. The first time could have been an accident but not the second. I headed on 290 West and got off on exit 9 which was near rt 12/290 and I stopped at the set of lights and listened to the radio. As I was sitting their a man with dark eyes and arabic features was starring at me. I looked at him but quickly looked away because of the look on his face. It was 0935. As the man approached me because he was taken a right turn toward rt 290/mass pike. I looked at him again and this time he took his left hand and slid it accross his throat like to slit it. It was a matter of seconds I just sat their saying to myself, "He didn't do what I think he did"??I proceeded to the mall and it really didn't hit me until I saw the planes hitting the WWTc on TV. I was scarred and I told everyone about it. What really frightens me is after this man did this to me two minutes later a plane went into the pentagon. Two months later I was sitting at the ford dealership getting my truck worked on and an older gentleman was sitting their too. I told him this story and he told me he was on the masspike and spotted an arabic looking (suspicious) man driving in a white truck and he called the police. All I can wonder if it was the same man who I saw and threated me. It made me feel better but I still to this day live in fear. Rodna M.

I felt sad the whole day and strarted to cry. I wish I could have had the chance to visit the world trade center. I am glad that they were people who were saved. I hope and pray still for the victims. I was watching a show and then the news came on and I called my aunt to tell her turn on the tv. She never thought it would happen. I hope we all do something special again this year. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Inside New York City 10/20/01 This morning we decided to do it: hop on a train and ride into New York. We had to see it. We had to be there. So we got in the car, and we drove to Stratford, Connecticut, where we always catch the train. And then we rode Metro North right into Grand Central Station. As we walked out onto the Main Concourse, this is what I saw: police officers and some National Guard troops, interspersed with travelers; a huge American flag suspended from the massive ceiling; and digital messages on their schedule boards that read: "For assistance searching for missing WTC family members, go to Pier 34." Then outside, I noticed the quiet. In some ways, it was subtle. I mean, there were people on the streets, and there were tourists, but it was as if the volume was turned down a notch. Things almost seemed more peaceful. Not surprisingly, nearly every storefront window or fa?ade displayed a flag or sign. A number of posters were defiant: "We Will Rebuild." There were reminders of the World Trade Center everywhere ? on postcards and framed posters for sale, and as the background on signs of so many shops. We decided to go up in the Empire State Building, which is once again New York?s tallest building. I was not afraid. I wanted to do it. We noticed security was tight, of course. They wanted to see picture IDs, and then had us go through metal detectors. In the waiting area, they were continuously running a special "virtual reality" ride through the city. Again and again we saw the towers illuminated at night, then by the sun, as a backdrop to the Brooklyn Bridge. I heard two women arguing nearby: "Well, I think they HAVE to rebuild it!" So we got in elevators and headed up 86 floors to the top. The Empire State Building is nothing like the Sears Tower (it?s hard to believe we were there just 3 ? months ago). It?s old, it?s classy, it?s almost creaky. We liked it. There were all of these framed pictures of new York in one of the waiting area. One of them was from a vantage point looking almost straight up at the World Trade Center. But just in front is a sculpture and sign that said, "Peace on Earth." On the top of the building, we went out into the air and looked all around, at all of the miles of buildings and bridges and people. It was sunny and windy up there. Looking south where the World Trace Center once stood, there was an open space in the skyline, from which smoke was still rising. We heard a plane go overhead and both started a bit. I stared up at it, almost in wonder, and watched as it flew above and away from the city. For a moment, I felt afraid. But not terrified. And it felt good not to feel terrified. But still, I think we both felt it was time to go down. Back out on the streets, we decided to do it. We had to get to "Ground Zero." We didn?t want to be macabre or voyeurs or in the way. We wanted to be sensitive. But we still wanted to be there. So for the first time, we walked underground and decided to learn how to ride the New York City subway. In the subway there were all sorts of updates plastered up about new routes or replaced routes, or which areas would be closed indefinitely. But most of them were dated nearly a month ago. The new reality slowly begins to sink in. We came up much closer to the Financial District. Neither Dan nor I had ever been to this part of the city before. We walked for a bit, and then came upon an intersection where the cars were stopped and turned either right or left. Straight ahead, the street was empty, a ghost town, blocked by police officers and National Guardsmen. They let in pedestrians, though. About then I began to feel uncomfortable and a little guilty. But we kept walking. I began to taste and smell something different in the air. I?ve never smelled anything like it. It was in some ways electrical but also stale. I?ve never smelled decay or death, so I don?t know if it was that. But somehow I?m afraid it was. We came to this place where there were just swarms of people. All of the roads to our right, or west, were blocked by barriers that were guarded. Very quickly we saw why. A block or two beyond those barriers was the rubble. I didn?t even get an up close view, but just seeing the site in person was shocking. I don?t even know where to begin. It was smoking, for God?s sake, 5 ? weeks later. Buildings near the site were in bad shape. One looked like just a shell of a building, all black with all of the windows blown out. Another mini-skyscraper had either one side partially peeling off or had pieces of the World Trade Center embedded in one side. I couldn?t quite tell, but whatever the case, it was horrifying. From one of the viewpoints you can see a maybe 10 or 15 story high mound of rubble. The pile was nothing but twisted steel and broken concrete and dust and wires and more wires. I tried not to get a picture in my mind of all the people entombed in there. There were other buildings nearby draped over with something like huge black cloth, as if it was some kind of protectant from all the cranes and other recovery activities going on. The cranes were moving and working, and I could see an NBC news camera trained on them, bouncing back the live images we always see. Then there was the dust. It was still everywhere. You could see it resting in window sills and door frames and in a million other places. Some skyscrapers had window washers getting rid of the grime. In other places, it had just settled like dirty snow. I ran my hand along the sides of a building and stared at the dust on my finger. I had this horrible thought that it was little pieces of people, ground down and fluttering all over the city. But in some ways it?s true. That?s the most awful part of it all. There were signs, cards, letters, pictures, flowers and other messages just everywhere. They were taped on buildings and strung to the road barriers. I saw a banner from Springfield?s North End Community Center. There were notes from all over the country and around the world. Children had colored pictures; there were poems and condolence letters. Everywhere people were standing and staring, taking pictures or video, speaking quietly, fighting back tears. I saw a woman about my age turn to the man with her and hug him. They stood there in the middle of everything, just holding each other. At one spot was a woman dressed like the Statue of Liberty. I guess she?s been doing this for years. And near her a man played "America the Beautiful" and "My Country Tis of Thee" on a flute. Right across the street was a church. Before September 11, the twin towers used to rise far above the steeple, dwarfing it as they did everything else. I kept looking up at the sky at all the empty space. The sky was so blue. I tried to imagine what the buildings looked like there. As I said, me and Dan had never been to this part of New York. It must be so much worse if you can remember. I stood there and thought, "This is where it happened." All of the people in these buildings I see heard a big boom. They looked out and saw smoke. Then they heard another boom. At some point they went outside. Then one by one the buildings crumbled and they ran. The street we were standing on had been enveloped by those massive clouds of dust that turned the day to night. In a small way, that was comforting. Many of the businesses were up and running once again, albeit with signs that said, "Sale ? Goods Damaged in WTC Disaster." And we noticed some people wearing masks for all of that junk that still permeated the air. We walked down to catch a glimpse of Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange. The building really is incredibly close to the wreckage. I?m amazed they got it running again so quickly. Diagnol to that building is the place where George Washington took oath as the first president. I forgot New York used to be the capitol of the U.S. I keep hearing people say it?s the capitol of the world. That?s why these bastards did this. The sun was going down and our feet were tired. I stood at a barrier and took one last look at the mess. Tears were crowding my eyes and I tried to hold them there. For a moment I glanced briefly at a police officer watching the crowds. He looked me right in the eye for a second as if to say, "I know." I thought of him watching all of these people, every day, see it for the first time. Then we walked north and as we did the smell began to fade and then past the barriers there were all of these cars and honking horns and it was just regular New York. Behind us was hell, and it seemed sadly that they were now used to hell and were just going about their business, very organized and focused, of eventually getting rid of it. It?s going to take so long to clean up that mess. Seeing it made me so angry. How can anyone think they can get away with such an act, or that it?s justified?! I will never forget the smell or the dust. Or all of those National Guard troops, riding in jeeps, as if we were somewhere very far from downtown New York City. I don?t know if I?m glad I went. The whole thing seemed like a bad dream. I only knew I had to. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

When I woke up that morning my dad had so very special news my uncles female dog have her litter. I went over to his house and looked at all of her puppies. I got to pick the first puppie. then I was off to school. It seemed like any other day hour first block class was starting and then our teacher was told something by another teacher but he would not tell us what. I didn't think nothing of it because teachers are always keeping secerts from students. When first block ended and I was walking to my 2nd block class I heard some people saying that the twin towers had been hit. I thought that it was just a joke and I didn't pay attention to it. By the end of the day I started to belive what people were saying then the afternoon anouncements comfermed it the twin towers had been hit and all I could think to my self was why.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had woken up that morning, like any other weekday morning, getting ready for class. I came upstairs from my basement apartment, and was surprised to see my dad. He works in D.C., recently leaving a job at the Pentagon, but was never there by the time I was up for class. He explained to me that he was home waiting for a floor repair company to come and replace our kitchen floor. None of the televisions were on in the house, and just as I was getting ready to leave, our phone rang. My dad picked it up and the color drained from his face. I remember him saying, "What are you talking about? Are you serious?" and then him turning on the television. We were shocked. The first iamge we saw was one tower of the World Trade Center in flames. Two minutes later we saw the second plane fly in from the side of the screen, and couldn't turn away as we saw it strike the second tower. We just couldn't believe our eyes. Then came the next wave of horror. All of a sudden the picture changed, there was a building in DC completely engulfed in black smoke..."the Pentagon....." my dad barely got the words out. At the same time I was setting down my bookbag, my dad said, "you're not going to class today". I assume the look on my face told him that I had no intention of going anywhere that day. My mom, who was in DC at the time, and also the one who made the phone call to the house, was trying her hardest to get home. She wasn't near the Pentagon when it happened, but because of all the traffic it seemed to take forever for her to get home. The rest of the afternoon seems like it was in slow motion, yet fast forward at the same time. It's a blurr to remember where I went, or what I did, but I remember the day passed very slowly.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in my third hour government class when I first found out about September 11th. I had just walked into class, and the TV was on and everyone just stopped and watched the TV. On the bottom of the screen it read that all the airports were closed, including the capitol city airport. My friend Deepa and I just looked at each other in shock. When my teacher Mr. Swan finally got everyone to sit down, we just watched the news all hour. It was hard for me to realize what had happened. All day in school we didn't do anything except for watch the news. In my fifth hour Algebra II class, my teacher's daughter had been flying that day, and he was leaving so he could try and contact her. I didn't have any family, or even know anyone in New York or in Washington, however, my boyfriend at the time lived in Pennsylvania, and I was frantically trying to find out if he lived anywhere near where the plane crashed. He didn't. I called him right when I got home, and I felt very relieved to hear his voice, even though I knew nothing had happened to him. I then called my Grandma to see how she was doing. She didn't really know exactly what was happening, and I had to tell her exactly what was going on. After that I called my dad, who lived a little while away in Dewitt, he was fine. The news that night was pretty horrible to see, it killed me that they kept on showing the same footage over and over again becasue they had no new information. I could see that Tom Brokaw had had a long day, he had a disheveled appearance on the newscast. To me, the worst thing was hearing the bodies hit the pavement, or seeing the people jump out of the windows. It also made me sad to see all the hospitals being prepared for a rush of people that never came. I thought for sure we would be going into war very shortly. Even though I felt sad for the people that had died, I never cried. I think because it never really hit me the gravity of what happened until months afterward.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was sitting in my math class when I heard the announcement. "Anybody with friends or family who work or live in or around the World Trade Center, please come to the cafeteria." I got reall worried because they had just announced the attacks. I did not have friends or family there, but I did have a fireman. He was still in the time of probation because he had just joined the FDNY. When I heard this, I flew from school and ran all the way home. After being reassured that everything was going to be ok, I returned to school. Little did I know, Mike Haub was missing. After about one month, the family decided to hold a memorial service. I did not attend this because there were over 800 people in a sall church. Right before Easter I got a phone call that was three words long. It was, "They found him." Even though he perished, leaving a wife and two small children, his spirit will always be with us. Not a day goes by that I do not think of him or his family, especially today. Even though I miss him and often cry myself to sleep, I know that eventually I will see him again. I will never forget him, not only because he will be in my heart forever, but because I have decided to join the FDNY Volunteer Fire Department. A little advice for everyone who reads this story of a teenager who has endoured as much pain and suffering as everyone else, "As long as you keep the memories of your loved one(s) alive, you will never forget them. Even though you cannot speak to them face to face, you can speak to them through spirit. Thank you all for taking the time to read this. If any of you out there need to talk or have any advice for me to know, feel free to e-mail me at ajjdrp2002@aol.com.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Being on the West Coast I started out my day amid the utter devistation that became September 11, 2001. I answered my front door at about 6:15AM to let in my neighbor's children, just like every morning. I went to the television to turn on cartoons for them, along with my two children, just like every morning. It was at that moment my life changed. Both towers had been struck by that time and I ran into the bedroom to wake up my husband. I was shocked, amazed, terrified and as I watched, The Pentagon was struck. I called my father who was still sleeping, "wake up and turn on the TV", that's all I had to say. We ended the phone call with an I love you, we were safe as all of our family is here in Southern California. I continued to watch the horror unfold as the plane went down in Pennsylvania. I decided that I was keeping the kids home from school. I was scared. My boss called and said DO NOT go into LA today for any appointments. He called again after the first building collapsed to inform me that our company had been closed for the day. "Stay home with your family where you belong". I think it was 8:00 or 9:00AM by that time, and frankly, I was still in my robe with no intention of working. Time ultimately stood still. I felt so helpless, so guilty for being safe and for not experiencing the loss that so many fellow Americans suffered. Today I know that I did suffer a loss, the loss of invincibility, the loss of security and the loss of people who died that I did not know but became part of me, part of America. Today I also know that much was gained. I am thankful to all of the firefighters, the police, the emergency personnel, and to the people who lost their lives, and to their families. I am thankful to them for the gift they gave. Within the terror our country formed a unified heart, a renewed love for mankind and a vigor for life as I've never experienced. If it weren't for those who gave their lives, and their families who continue to persevere we wouldn't be as great a nation of brotherhood as we are today. Thank You.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in a branch chiefs' meeting and when I came out one of our technicians told me that the WTC building had been hit by a plane. By the time I had walked back to my building, I was told that the second plane had hit. Everyone in the office had radios on. When the plane hit the Pentagon, our director immediately realsed all of our employees. My daughter and son-in-law work for the government in Virginia and also lives near the Pentagon. I tried calling her immediately and couldn't get through. Our grandson is at day care there also. My husband works in Rockville for the county government and his office is on the 14th floor. He could see the smoke from the Pentagon, but said there was no smoke coming from the areas where my daughter and son-in-law work. My boss was giving a presentation to the NCI Executive Committee which was halted. He came to my office on the way back to his office to ask if I needed a ride home or somewhere since he knew I took the bus to work. I said "Thanks, but I'm not leaving here until I hear from my daughter since at that time I didn't have a cell phone (I do now with a walkie talkie!). They had shut the phones down so I couldn't get to her. Then about 11 o'clock she called me from the day care center saying the had also evacuated within 3 minutes of Pentagon being hit. I told her to quit talking and get out of the area and call from home when they got there. It took them 3 hours to make the 25 minute drive since the roads were closed around the Pentagon. I made it home first to Damascus, MD, since my husband stayed at work with a paraplegic who was waiting for his transporation and my husband didn't want him to wait by himself. I called my parents to let them know I was alright and told them to let me know if anyone else in my family called them since we all knew they were at home to receive and triage calls. All arrived to their various homes and we all called each other as we arrived. I did receive a ride to my husband's office that day from another friend who stopped by my office to see if I needed a ride. It was the most peculiar ride because of the lack of noise in the skies. Everyone commented on that and that continued through the week. My cousin's daughter worked at the building adjacent to the WTC and their stories are very amazing too. My cousin worked on Wall Street also and all of our families were deeply affected by that day, but God was on our side that day, and no one was physically injured in my family. That day changed all of our lives forever. We now have an evacuation plan for all of our family and have adjusted to the everyday way of life that this event caused. We also have an evalucation plan at work and even though this has been difficult to think about and plan for, we all feel better that we have done something positive to make sure our families carry on with our daily lives. Living in the Washington, D.C., area and working for the Federal government puts a whole different perspective on our day-to-day lives, one that I never thought would have to be dealth with, but we are. I drove by the Pentagon on the way to my daughter's home in early October after 9-11. I cried when I saw the building. I also was amazed that more people didn't die because of the highway in front of the building with all of the traffic at the time of the morning, and how the plane didn't hit that highway is unbelievable. A lady I rode the bus with said her husband was sitting on that highway and still can't talk about it. He saw the plane hit. But the government employees in the area who work so hard are now concerned about A-76 outsourcing, so that shows that people have a way of making it through just about anything, but will NEVER forget.

As I awoke for the day and looked at the television I became a witness to the most tragic event I have ever witnessed. I seen the World Trade Centers innocently be "bombed" in a sick display of pride from another country. Innocent people perishing in front of my eyes. As I sat there and watched this horible tragidy I cried for the innocent lives that have been lost. And for the familys of all the victims. I could not believe my eyes. I could not believe that some where in the world people thought that this was a display of "pride" and that there "form" of GOD would except this. Knowing deep in my heart that this is not right. I turned to my family , hugged my children, and my husband , called other family members and morned for the other family members and victims. I watched all the events unfold over the next year and prayed to GOD above that this would not happen again. I placed all my fears in GODS hands and believed in the almighty power above. To this day I still cry when I think of all the familys that prematurely lost loved ones in this selfish act of terrorism. To all, I have to say, GOD bless all, and GOD bless America!!!!

My boyfriend came home from work woke me up and told me that terrorists hit the WTC. I did not believe him. He told me to come watch the news so I did. I could not grasp that this was happening. I was so upset that these people could actually come into the United States so easily, and crash planes into United States landmarks. Take their own live's and steal the live's of so many innocent people. This was and always will be a tragic day for America, and I think president Bush is handling this all very well. My heart goes out to those people that lost there loved ones to this meandering act of complete pandemonium.

We were watching the news for the weather when they anchor person stated that there was breaking news to be reported. As the anchor began to discuss the initial plane hitting the tower the second plane hit. My children and I watched in horror. I turned off the television and phoned my mother who works in Anderson, Indiana. Me, my children and my mother said a prayer over the phone. I took my children to thier schools and went to my office. My office was very quiet and we discussed the events amongst ourselves and tried to make since of it all. Once my children and I were home I talked with them and answered any questions that they had. I am a social worker and my job is to help people. It was very difficult seeing people in need. My children understand my vision in life of helping others and we were able to talk about how we can help even though we are not there. It was a sad, memorable and a great learning experience...all in one. This has taught many great lessons...pray and make sure you are in God's will because none of us are promised tomorrow.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was at my best friends house,where I went every morning.We would take the children to school and go back to her house. We always watched our favorite talk show then get into what ever craft we were doing at that time. That day we were going to start on Halloween projects.After getting her 4 year old breakfast we were just gonna put on some cartoons for her to watch so we could get started on our projects.The cartoons never made it on her tv that day.When the tv came on we could not believe what we saw.A plane had just crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade Center!At first we were thinking "oh my God how awful for them people wonder what happened to the pilot."we just thought it was a freak accident.Then just a little while later we watched in horror as another plane came straight for the other tower. We were glued to the tv that day,watching as they told about the other 2 planes.I Think the worst part of that day was not knowing when or where or if it was gonna happen again..But worse than that was setting there watching as the buildngs began to fall knowing there was nothing you could do.I wanted to reach in the tv and start pulling people out of the way most of them didn't even realize what was happening until their world went black.It was the eeriest thing,New York city was competely invisable and silent!It is something i will never forget and hope I never have to lve through again.Needless to say the Halloween projects didn't get started for a week or so.Instead we started the next day making patriotic thing.We painted flags and eagles and clothes for the kids to wear...I think it brought us closer together.I have always been taught that something good comes out of everything so i always try to look for the good...not only did it bring my friend and I closer it also seemed to bring all the nation together.We all need to just remember every day of our lives to tell all our friends and family how much they mean to us beause we never know when the last time you see them may really be the last time you see them.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I woke up to a beautiful morning in Houston Texas on September 11, 2001. I was in Houston on buisness and had been for almost two months. That morning I had the television on while I was getting ready to go to the office. I was listening closely to a disucussion/interview on the return of Michael Jordan to Pro-Basketball when the news broke. I walked slowly to the television, not expecting to see what I would. I slowly sat down on the bed with my eyes transfixed on the television. My initial thought was "How did this happen? Pilots that are in trouble are surely trained to bring their planes down in a manner that will not put anyone else in danger." I picked up the phone and called a coworker and asked her to turn on the television. We watched together as the second plane crashed into the tower. Then reality set in.....This is no accident! I called friends and family back home in Tennessee and South Carolina just to make sure they were seeing and hearing the same things I was. I walked out onto the balcony of my 22nd floor hotel room and looked across the horizon. In that moment, in the midst of a swirling mix of emotions, God brought peace to my soul. And all I could do was sing "Great Is Thy Faithfulness." God not only showed me his faithfulness in that moment, but in many other moments throughout the weeks to come. He was faithful in the hearts of so many that gave time, money, blood, supplies, even lives to help other Americans. May God continue to bless America!

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was starting a new job that morning, which is why I was up early. My alarm came on to the radio station, and they were doing the news and talking about smoke coming out of one of the towers and maybe a small plane had crashed. I got up and ran to turn on the television and watched the scene. The local channel was picking up live feed from New York of the towers but giving their own commentary, and speculating that there must have been an accident or something, but that on such a clear, sunny day the only way that a plane could accidentally hit the tower was if there was mechanical failure of some sort. And then, on live television, I watched with millions of others as the second plane hit the WTC. That was when it became clear that this was no accident. We were under attack. I finished getting ready for work and drove to the new job, all while listening to reports of a plane going into the Pentagon, of first one and then the other tower falling, and of a plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. Somehow it just didn't seem real, though. I mean, there I was at a new job, learning their system and their procedures, while our very way of life was being changed forever. That day was spent half-heartedly taking notes while listening to updates from other employees who had radios. It wasn't until I got home and watched the live scene on television that it hit...the World Trade Center was gone, the Pentagon was badly damanged, and America would never be the same. I still work for the same company, in the same office and the same department, and in the last five years I've seen how life has moved on. In the days immediately following the attacks, there were flags and pictures everywhere about 9/11 and getting those responsible. Now, comic strips, signs about benefits and various flyers cover the cubicles, but still, once in a while, there is a little picture of an eagle weeping, the towers burning in the background. Or of a fireman, sitting on a curb crying for his lost comrades. Of the twin towers, standing so tall, with 'Wish you were here' written beneath them. Yes, we have moved forward, but I don't think a day goes by without some thought to that day, and to what was lost.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Last year, I was driving home from work when the first plane hit. I was listening to Bob and Sheri (a morning radio program) and they mentioned that a small plane had hit the world trade center and that was all that was said. I didn't think much about it, because a small plane hit the Empire State Building a long time ago. But, I remember exactly what point I was at in the road when they said it. I was about 3 minutes from home otherwise I would've forgot about it. I was watching the TV in the living room at our place and thats when I found out that it wasn't a small plane like I had thought. I knocked on my brother's bathroom door to tell him what had happened. About 5 minutes after my brother comes in the living room the second plane came in. That's when we both knew there was no way it could be an accident. Then they mentioned there was what they thought was a bomb when off at the pentagon. Then I started calling people, people calling me to find out what was going on that didn't have access to a radio or TV. I think I averaged about 2 hours a sleep a day for the next week, not because I was scared, because I wanted to know what was happening at that moment and couldn't pull my way away from the TV. Me and my brother work at the same place, about 1/4 mile away there's the biggest tank farm East of the Mississippi and across the road is PTI (Piedmont Triad International Airport) so being at work was a little scary the first couple days after that, but everytime I hear them testing engines at the airport, for a split second it's the first thing that crosses my mind, still after a year.
