911DA Story: Story
I was sitting on the couch drinking a cup of coffee and
watching tv when all of a sudden, our local news station
came on and said, "one of the towers at the World Trade Center
was just hit by an airplane". I sat there in disbelief, thinking
someone is just playing a joke. Then, shortly after, they said
the second tower was hit by possible hyjackers. Then, when it came
to the plane crashing & the Pentagon getting hit. I was in total shock.
I was on the phone and pacing the floor wondering what was going to happen
next. I didn't move from the couch much that whole day, my eyes were glued to
the tv. I just wish I could of been there to help the people in some way.
The whole scene was devastating. My condolenses go out to all the people that
were affected by this attack.
