I was at work and listening to the radio broadcast of a local radio station and they were talking about a plane running into the World Trade Center Tower. I remember not thinking much about it because airplanes go down all the time. Then a little bit later I heard them saying a second plane had hit the World Trade Centers Second Tower and I started to get goosebumps! As soon as we heard the second announcement everyone I work with just started talking about how there was no way a coincidence! So I started walking towards our breakroom where there was a 13" color tv because I wanted to see the news! I opened the door and walked in and seen a picture of The Pentagon on tv, and no sooner did I start walking towards the tv, I then saw a plane crash into our Pentagon and I just remember standing there in shock! It took me a couple of minutes to pull this all in and I went back out to tell my co-workers what I had just seen and they didn't believe me! Then the radio starting broadcasting the attack on the Pentagon and everyone at work just stopped what they were doing and we were all just standing there staring at the radio waiting to find out was happening. It was about an hour later that we found out about the plane in Somerset, PA. Which is about an hour away from where we were working! And all I could think about was getting home to my children! I just wanted to hold them while I tried to figure out what was happening!!
