I WAS AT WORK WHEN THE EVENTS STARTED TO UNFOLD THAT HORRIABLE DAY. WE WERE ALL GLUED TO THE TELEVISION SETS THAT ARE IN OUR BREAK ROOMS. WE ALL STOOD IN DIS-BELIEF AS THE TALES AND IMAGES WERE DISPLAYED. WE WERE ALL SHOCK AND SCARED UNTIL ALL OF THE PLANES WERE FINIALLY ACCOUNTED FOR. I WORK IN A FACTORY DOING PRODUCTION WORK, WE DIDN'T GET MUCH WORK DONE THAT DAY,BUT NO ONE SEEMED TO CARE. SOME OF US CRIED, OTHERS SPOKE OF REVENGE. THE LOSS OF INNOCENSE THAT OUR COUNTRY EXPERENCED THAT DAY WAS UNMEASURABLE. WE THINK BECAUSE WE LIVE IN THE USA THAT THINGS LIKE THIS ONLY HAPPEN IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES. THIS WAS OUR NATION'S WAKE UP CALL. AT IT CAME AT A HUGE PRICE TO SO MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE AND THIER FAMILIES. I FEEL FOR THESE PEOPLE WHO WERE PERSONALLY AFFECTED BY THIS ACT. I WOULD NOT WANT TO CARRY THIER BURDEN OF PAIN. I DID NOT KNOW ANYONE WHO LOST THIER LIFE THAT DAY, BUT I HAVE CRIED FOR ALL OF THEM. THE STORIES FROM THIER FAMILIES ARE SOME TIMES TOO MUCH FOR ME TO LISTEN TO. I AM THE MOTHER OF FOUR SMALL CHILDREN AND I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW UNFAIR IT IS THAT ALL OF THESE CHILD NOW ARE MISSING A PARENT. WHAT A TERRIABLE LOSS WE ALL SUFFERED THAT DAY, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO LIVE IN NEW YORK TO FEEL IT, IT WAS FELT AROUND THE WORLD.
