Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My day (9/11) started like every other day. I arrived at my office at 8:30 and hopped onto cnn.com to check the news and scores from the day before. When we first heard about the crash on the North Tower, we couldn't log back on to cnn.com to see whta happened. We kept assuming it was a small engine plane, and it was an accident. Then my co-worker received emails from her husband in NYC, stating it was an airliner, and that the tower was burning. Ofcourse minutes after that, we heard the South Tower was hit. Next, was the pentagon. Were were in total shock. I felt like the world was going to end. I remember having this sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach. I remember my co-worker who was still talking to her husband through e-mail, telling us how people were just jumping out of the building, deciding their own fate. I went downstairs with some friends to have 3 or four cigarettes to calm my nerves. Everytime I heard a plane, I looked up, wanting to run. To make a longer story shorter, I left my office after the towers fell. I cried all the way home in my car, asking why? I watched the news from 10:45 that morning to 8:00 that night. And cried all night long, trying to block the horific images in my mind. I live about 30 minuted from NYC, and remember hearing the fighter jets in the distance. I wondered what the next day would bring. I still wonder, and wonder.....God Bless all, and God Bless America!
