Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was getting ready to send my 11 year old son off to school. I had the News on as I sat in bed and talked to him. All of the sudden, a special news report came on and showed the first tower burning and the annoucers speculating on whether a bomb had blown up. Then they saw the wing of a plane sticking out of the first tower. I ran to the front room and threw a video in the VCR and began to tape. Little did I know I would be taping for the next 24 hours. My son and I sat nearly speechless as the coverage continued to play out. It was horrifying watching as the second plane hit the next tower, the pentegone was hit and the horrifying account of the last plane being taken over by the passengers. I dare a terrorist to try to take a plane again! The worst story I heard was about a man who had escaped the tower, only to be crushed to death by a body of someone who dove to their death instead of being burnt. An officer was standing next to them and relayed the story. I can't imagine living with the memory of something horrific besides what else he had to witness.
