911DA Story: Story

I work 3rd shift and had got off work and went to meet a lady I had been talking with on the internet.We met and talked awhile and when we got back in our cars I heard it on the radio and went back to her car tell her to turn on the radio. I at that time was just thinking it was a small plane that had a problem. I went home and turned on the T.V. and eventually saw the 2nd plane hit.
Even after being up all night I couldnt sleep or pry myself away from the television. My son later called me to tell me gas in Indianapolis was already up around $3.00 a gallon so I got up and went to fill up my car and it was like a scene from a movie about the end of the world. Cars were lined up to get gas.
