On Tuesday mornings, I am at my busiest. I work in a court room and I spend my mornings interviewing clients and prepping cases to go into court. That morning, my co-worker, came into my office and said, "a plane just crashed into the WTC". I didn't comment, just kept on working as I figured it was a small plane and I would see it on the news that night. A little later, she came in again and said, "another plane just hit the other building, they are saying it's terrorism" I did not believe her. Then she told me they were large commercial planes that were hijacked. I pictured large empty planes. She told me they were full of passengers. I realized then it would be a day we would never forget.

The rest is history.
