911DA Story: Story

I work downtown Birmingham, AL. I was almost to the parking
lot when the first plane crashed into the WTC. My first
reason for the crash,I thought,was pilot error. After I got
to work, I learned it was not accident. I just couldn't
believe that this was a terrorist attack. As the
days and nights past, I cried with these people as they
searched for love ones. It was like losing a member of my
immediate family. The thing I wanted most was to gather
my family and pray. I still get a sick feeling today as I
think of the date which is near. My heart goes out to all
those families that were touched personally by this act. I
will keep them in my prayers as September 11, 2002
approaches.
