well i woke up on the 11th at 8:00 because i had to take my newborn to his appt. I turned on channel 20 to watch the gospel show and was listening laying down and was shock to hear them say that a plane crashed into the 1st tower the first reaction i had was oh god am i still sleep because it was so unreal and as i watched to see what had happened and listen them say it was maybe an accident i suddenly saw the other plane crash i started crying and woke up my fiance and told him and i grabbed my son and that it was d-day i was frightened and so was my fiance his grandmother was in that area and he was worried and started calling her and the phone lines were busy there were no calls to new york going through so we calmed down and left for our appt and on the radio we heard that a plane had crshed into the pentagon and i screamed and thought i was going to lose it we got to the appt and was told so many stories that the mounament was knocked down and the stadium had blown up but those were rumors and that day was just a turning point in my life and my sons because he is living in a world of hatred and violence and it hurs to see tsuff like this and my fiance's grandmother survived she was on the train and she said that they pulled off from under just as the 1st building fell and she is ok now but she lost many friends and i am tottaly scared to go anywhere but one day this will be over and we can all be happy and safe god bless everyone
