I was in my lab trying to log onto the internet. I kept noticing that the server was busy, so I went to use the phone. All I got was dead signal. It was at this time that a coworker told me that a plane had hit the WTC. I thought perhaps it was Cesna, and said that someone wasn't paying attention. I went back to my lab and someone came and told me about the second plane. Again I thought that a small plane had hit the WTC and said what kind of people are getting liscences these days. It was not until I saw the TV in the lobby that I saw what was really going on. As I saw the carnage, it was soon that I found out about the Pentagon and Shanksville. All I could do was go in the bathroom and cry at the loss of life. May God Bless their souls.
