911DA Story: Story
I was in my office when my husband, Richard, called me from his job to tell me what was happening. I turned on our little office TV and couldn't believe what I was viewing. The devastation seemed unreal, even on a 9-inch screen it was so huge; I can't imagine what it would have been like to witness the attacks in person.
I called my employer, Bill, into my office to watch with me (he is originally from NYC). We watched in horror together, then we realized we both wanted to call our families and friends. I really wanted to go home and pull my teenage daughter, Pam, out of school. Bill wanted to do the same.
We both left before school got out so that we could be home when our children arrived.
We later discovered that two of Bill's friends were on the airplane that struck the Pentagon.
God bless all those who perished.
