Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had called in sick that day. I had turned on the radio that morning and I heard the guy at the station say something about a plane hitting the WTC. I turned on the news, and their was footage of the first plane's damage. After the second plane, I called my husband (a 3rd year med student at University of Kentucky). Next I called my mother in Providence, KY. She new nothing, I told her to turn on the t.v. She started screaming and crying. After a while, we hung up, and I called my office. I currently was working for the KY FFA Foundation, Inc. My office was in the Capitol Annex, Department of Agriculture, in Frankfort. Marlene, the secretary, was crying. The capitol had been put into lock down. I sat all morning watching the television and crying. My sister-in-law, Amy, called from Indianapolis. She was so scared. Her apartment was close to the capitol, and her boyfriend had not returned home. They were locking down the streets their. She wanted to go look for him and I persuaded her not to. We talked for an hour, maybe more. I had never been so happy to see my husband come home. We watched the news all evening. The next day on my way to work on I-64, a man was standing on an overpass waving a giant US flag. He was there eight hours later on my way home, too. I tried to call my friends in Bogota. They had planned a trip to the states and were supposed to have left Boston on September 9. There was no answer at their house. Later, on a visit to Colombia in April, 2002, they told me that they were in New York at the time. They wanted to see the city, so they extended their day. They had actually been in the World Trade Center on September 10. It amazed me to see the way everyone was affected, and everyone came together. It is a shame that it took something like this to bring America together. I know that my children will see so many things. I cannot imagine what the world will be like. Hopefully, we can all learn from these experiences and take from them the things that we really need to know.
