911DA Story: Story

My husband and I were sitting having coffee, the kids were at school. I jumped on the computer to read one of my message boards where I read the first tower had been hit. I told my husband to turn the TV on; with in seconds the second plane hit the tower two.
I felt total fear, and horror. I knew after the second plane that there was no way it was an accident.

I would cry at the drop of a hat for days and days.

Two years later I'm still scared, for my children.
