Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: All I can say is that September 11th, 2001 was the first experience I've had in bearing witness to such a tragedy. I was on my way to work, waiting for the bus. There were none to be found. A woman I was standing there with, casually informed me that a plane was hi-jacked. The time was 9:30 am, and I was supposed to be headed for Fort Lee, which is the town that the GWB enters into. Neither one of us had the slightest idea of what had just occurred. A bus driver, whose destination was for NYC, informed us that all incoming traffic to NYC was halted. Nobody knew what was going on. I called work and explained that something really wrong had happened, only to get home and turn on the news to see the towers in flames. The footage of the attack was repeated over and over. I was in shock. My sister-in-law, whom I worked with at the time, was sent home. She came to my apartment, and we sat together in disbelief and horror. Then, the first tower crumbled. Tears were streaming down both of our faces. I will never forget that day. I will never forget seeing those people running, the faces of sadness, and shock. The screams. Even though I did not lose anyone, but was extremely close to it, I will never, ever forget the terror of that day. May we, as a nation, forever remember those that have gone from this world. Stand strong, my brothers and sisters... we shall overcome. Love eachother, for this is the strongest bond, that cannot, and will not be broken.
