911DA Story: Story

I will never forget that day in September. I was off from work that day and I was ironing and listening to the radia, Litght 103.9 fm when they interrupted the program saying that a plane just crashed into the World Trade center building. I grabbed my remote and turned on the t.v. You see I am a native New yorker and this was my home. I'd only just moved to North Carolina 3 years ago. When I saw the World trade building on fire and the instant replay of the plane crashing in it, i thought, oh my God. The people in the plane, the people in the building. I started to cry. My children were in school. I tried to to N.Y. to my sisters and brothers house, still watching the news. I thought, what a terrible accident, then right before my eyes I saw the second plane run right into the other building. Thats when all h---,broke loose. I got down on my knees and started praying to Our father which art in heaven. You see, I am a true Clidg if God, so the first one I'm going to call is my father. I asked God to please help those people in the buildings, Lord, please let them ask for your forgiveness now for any wrongs they have done, and if they are truly your children save their souls now.
