911DA Story: Story
I work the switchboard at Dura-Stress, Inc.
At about 8:55 i received a call from one of the wives of a co worker stating a plane had just hit one of the towers. We were all turning on radios and calling people to get information. We didn't know if we were at war or what, we were all terrified of not knowing. Our payroll manager had a son who traveled alot for his business and she was trying by phone and e-mail to get ahold of him to see if he knew anything.
By now the second and third planes had hit at the forth was in flight. First we heard it was going be shot down then we heard it had crashed in shanksville, Pa. Our payroll manager still had not gotten ahold of her son, so she left for lunch to be with her husband. I got a call from her after 11:30 or so and she was crying, her son Mark Bingham was on flight 93 and the plane had gone down. We all were heartbroken for her and her husband Jerry, But it was some comfort for them knowing that there son went down a fighting hero and we thank them "all" and will always remember the Hereos of Flight 93.
