I was born and raised in NYC. I moved to MAryland to attend college, soon met a man and got married. I woke up that day like any other, got dressed and went to work. I had recently started a new job and was still in training. I will never forgot 9:00 am a co-worker walks into the room an says "a plane hit the World Trade Building!" I sat in my sit thinking how stupid could you be the not see a huge building in front of you. Less than a minute later she said "I was wrong 2 planes hit the builds." I jumped up from my seat, picked up the phone called my sister in NYC to get my mom's number, only the operator picked up and informed me that NO calls where being placed into or out of NYC. So here I was trapped in Maryland with NO way of knowing if my family was alive, dead or missing. I did not find out that they where ok until Thursday morning. That was the WORST days of my life. The not knowing can tear your mind & heart up.
God bless those souls who lost their lives.
