911DA Story: Story
On that moringin I had just returned from bringing my son to school. My daughter than 2 was watching TV, I began my day. Shortly after I arrived home my husband phoned and told me to put on the TV. I knew that something was wrong by the tone of his voice. I put on the news and watched as the day unfolded. Right away I became fearful, two days prior we (my family) had a reunion. I had family in from all over the country. Who was going site seeing in the city, who was getting ready to board a plan. There were over a 100 of us at the reunion. I remember spending the next several hours on the phone.
I spoke with one of the girls who worked with my husband, her brother was an air traffic controller. He told her that there were still planes missing. I went to the school and took my son out. I spent the rest of the day with my family and was able to locate all of my family members that had come into town for the reunion.
I still remember it like it had just happened. Even though 5 years have passed since that day the memories are vivid.
