Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in the cafeteria, getting my morning coffee. I saw a few managers clustered around the TV set, which is set to CNN all day. Curious, I walked over and took a gander, to see what the deal was. I saw a gaping wound in the side of the World Trade Tower. An announcer told of an airplane that crashed into the side of the building. I was saddened by this, and was sorry that it happened, but my thoughts were, "C'est la vie, I hope the air controllers will do a better job in the future. Where's a cup?" I do not excuse my callousness. I went back to my desk with my coffee, and turned on WFNX. I peeked my head into Karen's office (my boss), and she was listening to a news broadcast from her station, telling of the crashed planes. ...Plane<b>s</b>? Karen speculated that it could've been a terrorist thing. Rachel (co-worker) heard, and said that ehh... maybe, maybe not. <i>Just then</i>, there was a broadcast that stated it was a terrorist attack, and that the US may be going to war. I was thoroughly stunned. I honestly thought it was just an accident... but this... The more I heard, the more stunned I grew. The towers hit... the Pentagon... the towers fell... the airports shutting down... I couldn't believe it. When the towers fell - both towers - I went back to the cafeteria, and watched reports on CNN. They did an instant replay of the collapse. I came so close to crying, and right in front of the new hardass Comptroller, as well. I was shocked - all those people... Afterwards, I decided to head over to a local red cross and donate blood.
