I remember I was sitting at my desk looking outside the skyline from my window, I sit next to the window and it was clear blue sky. I remember I got a CNN news alert via email and this is when I learned of the first plane hitting WTC. I quickly got up and went to turn the TV on in our breakroom, as I did this I saw the second plane hit. AS I watched in horror...in disbelief..all I remember what an eerie feeling that came over me..and my co workers..we could see people falling to their deaths on Live TV..My eyes quickly filled up with tears and emotions....as the news kept going..then we learned of Pentagon and the plane that the heroes saved, that was going to hit the White House. I will never forget 9/11, I will always remember the horrible scenes that flash in front of my eyes on the Television. I appreciate life much more now than I had prior to the 9/11 attacks. God Bless the people that lost their lives and their families. And God Bless the USA. I am so happy and proud to be an American.
