Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: We were on vacation in Ireland. We were in a pub eating lunch and they had CNN on the TV. As we waited for our food, we say the amatur footage of the first plane hit the first tower. We were shocked and at first thought it was a small aircraft, but my husband said it was a jet liner. Then moments later, we saw the second plane hit the other tower. We had finished what we could of our lunch and tried to find a radio station the car to listen to. We had ticket to tour a castle that day and we went there and waited for our appointed tour time. There were a few other Americans in the tour, so who knew what had happened and others who didn't. As we waited, we told them and then we heard about the Pentagon. My father is in the military and was with us on vacation. He has many friends at the Pentagon and we began to worry greatly. Some of the radio stations were listening to seemed to exagerating the damage to the Pentagon and Washington DC. Someone else came into where we were waiting and said all of DC was gone. To our relief this was not the case. We tried to watch the news as often as we could over the next several days. The Irish people were very supportive and the Repulic shut down on Friday as a day of mourning. They held religous services and displayed many American flags on their homes. (It might have looked like a small US town around the 4th of July). We did not having any trouble getting home as we had just started our two week vacation, but several other Americans we met had to extend their vacations by as much as a week.
