911DA Story: Story
well I was at work at a GoodYear tire center in a subburb of Philly, our boss came out into the shop and told us that a plane had hit the world trade center, we went into the lounge and watched the tv ( we were expecting a small cesna personal plane to have maybe struck the building and bounced off of it.. we were not prepared for what we saw!! we saw the second plane hit, and i started to cry..... we got sent home early ...
my cousin worked at tower1, we could not find him or contact him ( he was not there when it hapened, he was trapped in midtown)....
I still remember the scary slience in the skys for days after.....
I was at the WTC back when i was about 12-13 (i'm 30 now) I remember the incredible size of the buildings... i remember the beautiful lobby, and carpet.. we waited in line to ride the elevators to the observation deck.. i remember my ears poping, and feeling the speed of the decent in my stomach when we were going back down..
I also remember the cold air and high wind of the observation deck!! it was scary, you couldn't get near the edge, there was a large fence then about 20-30 feet, then the edge of the building. but you didn't need to be on the edge, it was the modt amazing feeling, like being on top of the world for a 12 year old!!
I will forever miss those buildings, and mourn for the brave people that lost their lives on that Tuesday....
