911DA Story: Story
I was at work at the AGC of Ohio in Columbus Ohio. I was waiting for the Consultant to arrive to put on a Legislative Program for our lobbyist. Everyone was quietly working, phones had not started to ring too much yet, just a normal peaceful day. Steve Marks, our consultant, came running in the door and yelled to turn on the TV. AGC has a big screen tv for presentations and meetings. Normally it is never turned on.
Andrea turned on the tv and there was a picture of the World Trade Center with smoke coming out of it. Mark said we had been attacked and might be at war. Really could not comprehend that as a possibility.
While watching the tv, another plane appeared and just went into the other building. It was not real, did not make sense, could not understand what was happening, shock, looked like a movie (reminded me of the radio show that terrorized the world). Tears came. Watched in disbelieve and shock the rest of the morning.
