911DA Story: Story
September 11,2001 is like the day President Kennedy was shot..You can recall every moment of the horror and never forget..I can relive every second of 9/11 and play it over and over again in my mind..
Like every other morning i woke up about 7 and made coffee and opened my back door and thought what a beutiful day..The weather was perfect and it was a great start for my vacation..About 8 I went on my computer to check email and bank account..I went in the kitchen for more coffee and looked at the tv and saw the smoke comming out of the first tower..I listened to the morning tv host mentioning a small plane crashed into the tower and from the corner of my eye I saw the second plane crash into the second tower..I thought oh my God what is going on..I watched in horror as people were jumping to thier deaths before TV editors could cut the horrible scenes..Whene the pentigon was hit and the plane went down inPA I thought Am I next..I didnt know whene or where the next plane would hit..I called my son who works about 50 miles from here and told him to stop working and go home,we were under a terroist attack..So many lost thier lives that day and living on the east coast you either lost family, friend,or knew someone that did..In my case It was a former co worker..Her son was one of the pilots that went into the world trade center and many customers from the company I worked for were lost and one of my favorite authors Barbera Olsen,Who I had watched often and got me interested in politics..
September 11,2001 Is a day I will never forget and can only hope and pray never to see another day like that again..
