I was at work when the attacks happened. We could listen to the radio to here updates. I thought that this was not the end of it, there were going to be more attacks if they didn't shut the airports down. Luckily they did for a week and it was mighty strange noy seeing any airplanes flying overhead. Montgomery is about forty miles west of Chicago, and five miles from the Aurora Municiple Airport, so I was used to seeing airplanes all the time. After all the hoopla started dying down in a few weeks and we were getting to know a bit more of Osama Bin Laden, I thought if they want to attack American freedoms then they should do it on our Independence Day. Here it is now five days from the Fourth of July and I'm waitnig for the next attack.
