911DA Story: Story
I usually watch Good Morning America every morning while getting ready for work. That particular morning, I didn't turn the TV on util almost 8:00 our time. The first plane had just hit the 1st tower. Diane and Charlie were commenting that a horrible accident had just occurred, and no one was sure what had happened. There was specualtion that a small private plane had crashed into the tower.
To everyone's horror, a 2nd plane approached from the left side of the screen. There was ind\cedible disbelief when seconds later, a huge fire ball exploded on the 2nd tower.
I called my parents panicked. I said we are under attack, turn on your TV!
I flew to my son's school and took him out of school. All I could think of was keepin my kids with me.
Everyone was in shock. How could this happen? It just got worse. The Pntagon was hit,the towers came down, flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania...when would it end?
I have this image burned in my mind of everyone fleeing Ground Zero. President Bush getting the news while in a classrom in Florida. Not knowing for several hours where the President was, while they tried to protect him.
It was sheer terror.
How can people who pray to Allah everyday take so many lives?
