I was at the bank where I worked and it seemed like a normal morning until my husband called. He had said that a plane had just hit one of the world trade center towers and that I should turn on the television. I quickly told my coworkers as I hurried to the kitchen to turn on the TV. We were all watching as some of us were calling family and friends when all of a sudden another plane struck the other tower. We were all in shock and were wondering who and why. We were also scared as to what else these murderers were planning to do. I remember someone saying after the second plane hit " we had better get down on our knees and pray". I still remember my 4 year old daughter asking me why this happened as she had tears in her eyes because she understood that those poor people were dying.
