911DA Story: Story
It was just another typical morning at work, getting my coffee and turning my small radio on at work. As I was getting ready to get started, I heard the radio announcer mention New York, then the word airplane crash. I immediately turned the radio up, and to my amazement, could not believe what I was hearing. A passenger jet had crashed into the Trade Center.
I immediately got some of my co-workers, gathered them around my desk, just to confirm what I had just heard, it was true. Then we all went to our computers to check the news, it just made the headlines.
Then shortly after, another plane had hit, then the news that the Pentagon had also been attached by an airplane. We could not beleive this was happening, we were all gathered together trying to catch ever detail of information and even trying to find somehere who might have a TV.
No one was working and even our phones had stopped ringing from our customers, except for the calls from friends and family members informing us about what the TV news was reporting.
We were all in disbelief, our stomaches were churned, and we were all drawned together all day. The news just seemed to get worse and we were trying to figure out, what next?
We could not wait until we got home to watch the news. This will be a day that we will never forget, September 11th, 2001.
