911DA Story: Story
I was driving on the 91 freeway to work. I listen to 1070 am, here in L.A. an all news channel. When they reported the first plane crashing, I thought there must have been an airtraffic controller problem. Being from New York, I could no imagine what we would soon learn.
I called my wife and told her to turn on the T.V. I then called New York, work...everyone I knew! Then the second plane hit! I told my wife at that moment our way of life in America has just changed forever.
I knew we were then under attack. I turned around and went home to hear on the radio in horror that our Pentegon was hit, and of a plane maybe crashing in PA. At that time no one was sure if that report was true.
When I came into my house, I saw the 2 buildings ablaze, I could only wonder who I might know working at the Trade Center. When the buildings fell our house cried, cursed, and wanted to help. We also felt helpless watching this tragedy unfolding in our living room.
