I worked across from Newark Airport and saw the smoke norht of my window. I went to CNN news on the internet and there it was. We turned on the tv at work and for the rest of the dday wwe stood watching as the towers burned and finally fell to the earth. Tears flowed from everyone's eyes, supervisors, managers, president of the company, everyone there stood in silence and cried. I felt a hollowness inside me and wondered why. Why would someone do something like this? They would have to be very sick minded with no heart oor soul. Then I realized the Pentagon also was hit. "What next?" came to my mind and when are we going to get the Navy, Army, Air Force and Marines launched out to wherever to take care of this. I was very emotional because I was pregnant. I remember sitting down because my legs went numb. Then I just prayed to God to help those sould lost and to please be with their families. Then I prayed for my family many miles away that they would be safe. I arrived home at 4:30 pm and stayed in front of the television watching Peter Jennings until I fell asleep. I will never forget that day nor will I ever forget those people in my prayers.
