911DA Story: Story

It was my daughters second day of kindergarten. I was just surfing the TV to see what was on and stopped on a local channell because of a burning building. The more I watched I could not believe the tragic story unfolding before me, they were saying it was terrorists.

I was shocked, I could not believe something like this was happening in out country. I wanted to go get my daughter from school and have her with me where she was safe. I called my good friend and we sobbed together on the telephone, scared, confused and totally glued to our TV screens waiting to hear the lateset bit of infomation. I watched the second plane hit, I watched as both towers came tumbling down and I could not believe my eyes.

My prayers go to all those who lost loved ones in this tragic event.
