911DA Story: Story
First of all thank you for this site so that all can share their experience. While I did not lose a loved one or know anyone personally that did I still feel a tremdous loss for those families that lost loved ones and for my family's comfort zone as a American citizens.
I was at 24 Hour Fitness Tuesday, September 11 after having dropped my nine year old son, Stephen,at school. I did my work out and came up front to ride the incumbent bike at approximately 8:45 AM CST. 24 Hour Fitness has four television sets that face the aerobic machines and I remember looking at the televisions and thinking that a plane must have crashed at DFW International Airport. I soon realized that it was something much more horrific and within a few minutes witnessed the second plane crashing into the second tower.
The victims and their families' pain and suffering go way beyond my understanding. I cried today Wednseday, September 11 2002 for all of them. Life goes on and I can only hope that we will one day have peace and the comfort zone that Americans have known and cherish so much.
God Bless America,
Dema Maria Eppling
