I work for a bank and we were just doing our everyday work when customer's came in. They told us that a plane had flew into the one tower. At first we thought it was just an accident. We than looked for a radio and turned it on to find out what was going on. Once we knew what was really happening we found a tv and hooked it up. We were really shaken up! It was very hard to concentrate on work, because you just didn't know if anything else was going to happen.
I immediately called my sister who worked for a trading firm. She said she knew about it, because they worked with one of the firms at the towers. She knew some of the people who perished, she had just met some of the them a couple weeks before.
My son's company did business with one of the companies that was at the tower's. He was upset and worried that something else may happen.
Then I had concern because my husband works security for a power plant. My mind instantly started wondering if they would try to do something there. Everyday I worry when he goes to work that something may happen.
One year later I still cry when I hear the stories about the people who have died. Everyday I pray more than ever to keep my family safe.
