It was my day off and I remember I had slept in late that morning. I got up and, as usual, turned on the TV and then went to my computor. I looked at the TV as I sat down just to see a plane hit the WTC. At the time I thought it was a movie. My home page came up and I read the featured story in front of me on the screen. My eyes went back to the TV. "Oh my God~!~!" I said, "This is real~!~!". For the next 2 days I spent crying as I watched the terror unfold. Even after a year has passed, it still bothers me so much to see those pictures that will be forever etched in my mind. I still can't believe it happened here, in the United States.
