Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was just getting ready to start my day, when I turned on the TV. The first plane had just hit and the morning shows were starting to cover the fire. Noboy knew yet that this wasn't an accident. I called a friend, who has a sister in NYC by the Towers, to tell her to turn on the TV. Just as we were talking, we watched the second plane hit live on TV. We both screamed. How? Why? Who? The rest of the day is a blur. I couldn't get to work in downtown Detroit because they had sealed everything off. I stayed home, watched TV and prayed and cried. That night, I couldn't sleep. I kept watching TV, praying nothing else would happen. I finally fell asleep, only to be awakened by 2 F-16 aircraft screaming low over my house. They had been dispatched by the local air base to patrol over Metro Detroit. I was terrified something else had happened. All of us rushed out of our houses to see if we could see or hear anything. We stood in the street, in our bathrobes and PJ's, wondering what Sept. 12 would bring. God bless everyone and let there be peace on earth.
