Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I AM A TRUE NIGHT OWL, SO I WAS UP ALL NIGHT. I WOKE UP AROUND NOON AND TURNED ON MY TV IN MY BEDROOM SO I COULD WATCH MY SOAP OPERA. WHEN I SAW THAT THEY HAD BROKEN IN ON PROGRAMMING, I THOUGHT "OH, WHAT NOW?", BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES THEY BREAK IN FOR THE LEAST LITTLE INSIGNIFICANT THING. WELL, NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS IN SHOCK. BY THE TIME I SAW THE REPORTS, THE TOWERS HAD ALREADY FELL, AND WHEN I SAW THE NEWS FOOTAGE I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS SEEING. I THOUGHT THIS MUST BE SOME KIND OF MISTAKE. THIS COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE HAPPENING HERE IN THE USA. IT LOOKED TO ME LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A HORROR MOVIE. I STARTED TO CALL MY MOM, BUT THEN I REALIZED THAT SHE, MY UNCLE AND TWO OF MY AUNTS HAD GONE OUT OF TOWN TO VISIT MY GREAT AUNT. I HAD NO WAY OF GETTING AHOLD OF THEM, BECAUSE NONE OF THEM HAVE CELL PHONES. THE TRIP TAKES ABOUT 4 HOURS EACH WAY. I WONDERED IF THEY EVEN KNEW WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED PRAYING. NOT ONLY FOR MY OWN FAMILY, BUT FOR ALL OF THOSE CONNECTED TO THE TRAGEDY. IT TURNED OUT THAT MY FAMILY WAS FINE, THANK THE LORD, BUT I CRIED FOR DAYS AND WATCHED CNN AND MSNBC NON-STOP. I THINK RUDY GUILIANI IS A WONDERFUL MAN, HE NOT ONLY KEPT NEW YORK TOGETHER, BUT ALSO THE NATION. I HAVE TOTAL RESPECT FOR HIM AND PRESIDENT AND LAURA BUSH. JUST KNOWING THAT THEY ARE CHRISTIANS GAVE ME PEACE OF MIND. THERE WERE 2 HUGE SONIC BOOMS AND I THOUGHT THE WHOLE COUNTRY WAS UNDER ATTACK. WHICH, ACTUALLY, IT WAS. AND I AM SO THANKFUL FOR ALL OF THE BRAVE PEOPLE ON FLIGHT 93. I'M SURE THAT PLANE WAS HEADED FOR THE WHITE HOUSE OR SOMEPLACE THAT WOULD DO THE MOST DAMAGE. THANK GOD FOR THOSE BRAVE SOULS, THEY ARE TRUE HEROES!!! I DIDN'T KNOW ANYONE PERSONALLY WHO DIED IN THE ATTACKS, BUT I FEEL LIKE I KNEW EVERYONE OF THEM. I AM SO PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. THOSE TERRORISTS THOUGHT THEY WOULD CRIPPLE OUR ECONOMY, GOVERNMENT, ETC. BUT AS WE ALL KNOW ALL THEY DID WAS TO UNITE THIS COUNTRY AND MADE US EVEN STRONGER. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
