That morning was just like every other morning going to work and starting your day as usual. I always have my radio on when all of a sudden they said a plane has just crashed into one of the world trade center buildings. i jumped up and ran to the back of the building because you can see the entire skyline of New York city. To my disbelief their was the building on fire with smoke filing up thru the air. As my co-workers looked in disbelief we saw the other plane fly right into the other tower as it exploded we screamed with horror saying "oh my god it this really happening, our mangers and dept heads were telling everyone to sit down and calm down. How can you tell someone to sit down after seeing something like that, this was not a movie we were watching, this was our country, our town being destroyed right before our eyes. As we still watched and listened to the radio for updates, we starred in horror as the 1st tower crumpled to the ground, shocked, angry, sad & horrified we just looked at each other and cryed. so many people just going about there day, some not even knowing what was happening. I'm 36 yrs old and never thought i'd see something so horrible in my lifetime, those people jumping trying to get away from the flames or people trapped above where the planes hit it's unimaginable. I have lost many friends as many other people around the world have. GOD BLESS ALL WHO DIED, ALL WHO TRYED TO HELP WE ARE AMERICANS AND WE WILL LIVE ON. LIBERTY & JUSTICE FOR ALL.
