the first news i heard was thata plane lost control and hit the north tower.they thought it may have been a highjacking.
i then learned after it was.when it hit the second tower.this lady jerri i work with she was upset. she wanted to make sure her sister was ok. i later found out she was.this other lady i work with,then called the stations that had live reports being this shown on tv we could not see it.i then heard her say the first tower collapsed and many people were trapped calling from their cell phonesand then few minutes later the second tower collapsed. i needed to calm down feelings were going through me of deep concern, i was so bad they were going to send me home.i then called my mom and told her the news.by then i felt better.but my prayers were with those people.by then the american flag had meant so much more then stars and stripes.it upheld it's true meaning that day. 9/11/01 will live on and the lesson from it will never fade.god bless america!
