My son had a hearing that day at the local magistrates office for a trafic violation. We were just about to be heard when the magistrate got called to the back room because a p;ane had struck the World Trade Center. Everyone thought it was a plane accident, which would have been bad enough, but then the next plane hit. That's when we found out it was an act of terrorism. Everyone was stunned, no one thought this could happen in the United States. You could see anger and shock in the faces of people. Senseless loss of lives because of terriosts. I hope this never happens again.
