911DA Story: Story

I live in Pittsburgh, PA and was away on business. As the terrible story unfolded I became overwhelmed with the need to be home with my 8 year old daughter. (Particlarly as I am a single mother). After hearing a plane crashed "near Pittsburgh" and being unable to reach anyone at home or office. My colleague and I got directions off the internet and drove our rental car home. I will always remember the sense of fear as I have never felt before.
