Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I remember that tuesday morning well, coming home from a restaurant, after getting off work, at about 3am. I stayed up about half hour or so, talking to my mother, who was awake at the time. I then went to bed. Before I knew it, my brother was pounding on my door, telling me a plane had crashed into one of the World Trade Center towers. I quickly ran into the livingroom and was watching ABC News live coverage. They showed the north tower on fire, and were talking to a lady on the telephone who witnessed the plane hit. Then I remember that incredible moment when she yelled out, "oh my God! Another plane just hit the south tower!" Then I knew we were under attack. It was so incredible, and almost like a bad dream, because I had been asleep just over an hour beforehand. Then the Pentagon was attacked, and I was downright spooked, and rightly so. Since Las Vegas is such a popular tourist attraction, I was thinking, "Are we next to get hit?" I stayed home all day, even playing hooky from work, just to witness the disbelief of what happened that day. I had one vcr recording one channel in my mother's room, and another vcr recording another channel in the livingroom. I momentarily went out to a store, just to buy more video tapes, to keep recording. I remember at midnight, running out to one of the casinos, to get the morning paper. Near a bar at the casino, i continued to watch the latest news coverage of the whole disaster on a television, as were many other people. We were all strangers, gathered as one, to witness the most heinous mass murder spree in the history of the country, and perhaps the world. It is a day i will never, ever forget.
