I had just walked into my office about 8:47 when someone in the office mentioned that a plane fell. I put on my radio and was listening, when I heard that a plane hit one of the World Trade Centers. I was just shocked but still taught it was an accident. The people in my office were all listening to my radio and we then heard that another airplane hit the other Trade Center. Now I was scared and horrified and taught this cannot be an accident. We must be at war! I was so scared and then when I heard the Trade Centers callapsed. I was so sad, I just couldnnn't believe it. I cried and I did not know what to do. It was just too unbelievable. I called my son and I told him and he was seeing it on the TV. I called my sister and finally got thru and she was also seeing it on TV and in her neighborhood papers were falling from the sky--the burnt papers from the Towers. How horrible and sad. We were sent home from the office, but there were no trains. I walked towards 59 Street Bridge, but someone mentioned there was a train running, so I took that train over the bridge, then walked home.
