I had just come out of the Doctor's office. When I started my car, the radio announcer was relaying the fact that the World Trade Center had just had a plane fly into one of the twin towers. He speculated that this was not an accident and suspected terrorism. On my way to work, the information was relayed that people were jumping from the tower. I arrived at work and learned that another plane had targeted the other tower. This felt like a nightmare. People at work had the TV on and the footage was horrible. I will never forget the helpless feeling and the sheer horror I experienced that people could actually intentionally do something like this to other human beings. I'll never forget September 11, 2001 as long as I live.
