I was in the office of the company I had worked for at that time. I remember my husband calling in to tell us to turn on the TV that a plane just hit the WTC. We ran into the bosses office, tuned on the tv and were stunned. I wa immediately brought to tears.
I knew the urgency of the situation and the immediate danger. Then the second plane hit, I couldn't breathe. I was stunned. What I say next on TV and I have never seen it again was a body falling to the ground in full flames....
My God, my God I prayed secretly to myself, please be with those involved.
I remember asking one of the other girls in the office where the boss was, I thought he might be in New York. He wasn't.
After watching for a few minutes I decided that I needed to proceed to my office. On my way to my office, the third plane hit the Pentagon and then Pennsylvania. I about died, my children live there I immediately called to see if they were ok. They were and then it hit. What about the people in the WTC, the Pentagon and PA. How sad, the children,
the wives, the husbands, the parents ..........I just pryed and prayed...and cried. I'll never forget that day, ever.
