911DA Story: Story
I came in about 20mins to 9:00am. I turned on the radio,
the announcer said jokingly that a small plane apparently hit one of the twin towers. I thought it was a joke. Then his voice changed and he stated its actually a large aircraft. I then went to my break room turned on the T.v. & saw everything as it unfolded. I thought it was a horrible accident, then I saw the next plane hit, I knew then it was terrorist. I felt sick to my stomach, I thought maybe I was having a nightmare and I would wake up, but it was real. to add to the horrible events it was announced that more planes were possibly hijacked. Then the pentagon was hit. I'm a native New Yorker, my heart broke, I cried like a baby, I wanted to be there and help our people I felt as if part of my soul left me to go there. Lastly I remember and I'll never forget!
Spiritually I am stronger today.
