I had brought back a truck load of supplies from a warehousee to our factory. I went up to the office to grab a cup of coffe when I noticed everyone was in the breakroom watching TV. I asked what was going on when someone commented that a plane had "crashed" into the World Trade Center. I commented "Oh we're being attacked". People looked at me and said things like "No, they think the pilot had a heart attack or it was a mechanical error". I replied "No we are being attacked". People were about to start arguing with me (a dirty little driver) when suudenly..."This just in, a second plane has crashed into the towers...the report is unconfirmed but I repeat...we have reports comming in that a second plane has crashed into the World Trade Center and we will bring you etails as they become available...." People looked at me and started asking "Oh my God waht do we do". Now I was angry and I replied, "We shut the hell up and listen for further instructions. I then phoned my mom and dad because my sister worked just five blocks from the towers. To this day I thank God that my sister is ok.
