I was getting up and had turned on the tv to CNN. I got to see that the first tower had been hit by a large plane. As I was watching, I saw the second plane hit the second tower. At that point I told my wife, that is a terrorist attack. Then I saw the towers collapsing at about 10:30am. It was the sadest day of my life. I was angry, sad, concerned. I could not believe that something of that magnitude could happen to us. I just prayed hard and long. Joseph Alphonso.
