On September 11th, I had just woke that morning and began by turning on my television. Immediately I was captivated as I noticed all of the news was on a flaming tower 1 of the world trade center with tower 2 already gone. Alarmed by what I saw I proceeded to my roomates bedroom to tell him to turn on his television. By the time he did so tower two had already collapsed. I had to be at work that day and was rushing to get to my job and figure out what was going on. My work place was a buzz with the tragic events that had unfolded that day. Some in tears, some distraught, many of us requested manage set up a television in a closed section of the restaurant in order for us to stay informed on what was going on. Some of us had family in the area of New York, D.C, and Penn., as well as numerous others on flights throughout the eastern seaboard of the Nation. I will never forget where I was on that tragic day and I will always remember the heartache I felt as I pondered on the sudden end of so many lives.
