911DA Story: Story

I was at a clinic having blood drawn when a man from another office ran in and said that a plane had crashed into the WTC. We were shocked that such an accident could happen and many began praying for the victims and families. In what seemed like only an instant later he came back into the office to inform us that a second plane had crashed into the WTC. In that moment I knew we were under terrorist attack.

First there was fear which was soon replaced by anger. I rushed into work to check the flight schedule of our employees to discover that one of my closest friends at the office was on a plane to California (he arrived safely to Dallas) Then I heard the news of the plane hitting Pentagon, I was devistated, I have many friends in Wash DC that I met through my work. A few days later I heard that we lost a co-worker at the Pentagon. He was a great citizen, employee, husband and father.
