911DA Story: Story

I was helping my grandson get some breakfast, preparing to take him to the hospital to see his mommy. I had the television on and saw the image of a large airliner crashing into a huge building in New York City. I thought that looked so unbelievable and wondered how such a mistake could happen. I shut the television off and took my grandson to the hospital. Only after we got there did I hear that there had been two crashes, and that they were deliberate acts of sabatoge. It was so unreal in the midst of a celebration of new life.
