911DA Story: Story
My wife and I had just arisen and received a frantic call form our younger daughter in Westlake, CA telling us to turn on the TV and asking "Dad, what is going on?
We thought it was a movie or some kind of computer generated image until we saw our local newscasters crying on the air.
We were riveted to the TV for the next 3 days completely amazed at the destruction and trying to figure who could have done such a cowardly thing. Since we are in the flight path to John Wayne Airport the silence was absolutely defeaning for a week. When we heard a helicopter overhead late in the week everyone jumped up and ran outside to discover it was only a police helicopter.
On a personal note Linda Frost - a daughter of a co-worker of my older daughter - was on the plane from Boston enroute CA when it crashed into the tower. Our prayers go out to her parents and brother as well as all the others victim's families. My family will never forget the images, the terrible day or people who lost their lives.
Let's Roll!!
