I was on a cruise with some friends from OHIO:
I woke up at 8:00 am looking out at green mountains. I call my mom around 8:15 in Florida to tell her we had arrived at St. Thomas. I then called my grandparent's in Houston and told them the same. Then...I called my X-Boyfriend, he told me to call when my phone was working. He had said to me, "You won't believe what just happened?" I was thinking something small, like he got a ticket or something. Then he told me a plane just hit the "World Trade Center." For the life of me, I couldn't picture what the "World Trade Center" looked like, but I knew it was in NY. I thought maybe it was a small plane that went out of control and went into the building. Then, he screamed, "Oh S***! Another just hit!!!" I was in total shock. I didn't know what to think. At that time I go to turn on the T.V., but are signal was not working.
Finally at 1:00p.m. I saw the footage of the "World Trade Center" It was horrible. I was so scared. I didn't know if I should cry or not.
I just hope something like that will never happen again!
