My Memories of 911
Yes, my morning was the usually business of secratary work and TV's. You see I work for the Horry County Schools and we have a mini TV station CH12 and ETV (ITFS) for educaitonal programming only. I was on the phone with a DELC call of 50 DELC TV studieo throught our the state of South Caroloina. The peron conducting the phone call was in his car along with another person. This call always takes place every Tuesday morning at 9:00 am. About a minute before 9 I logged onto the call and I heard someone say turn your TV to CNN. I did and at first it looked like someting you would see in a movie. I thought what the )@(#$*)(% is going on. I then said listen I gotta go, cause all you could hear on the phone was things like Oh My God!, Look at that, or What the ! was that. The 2 gentlemen in the car couldn't even fatham what was happening. So I hung up the phone and started listening to CNN and at the same time getting my husband on the phone and tring to explain to him what I was seeing on TV. My husband was thinking like me at first that some airplane must of had some kind of mechicanl problem. We disccussed it a little and got off the phone. As I sat there and continued to watch TV and then all of a sudden seen another plan crash in to the Trade Center again. Then within minutes heard about the plan crashing into the Pentago and then a plan going down in Penn. I reliezed by then we were under some kind of attack. I started cring and tring to get my husband on the phone. He still couldn't understand the impact of what was happening to the United States. I was so upset that I had to turn of the TV's I couldn't listen anymore. Like most american's I was in a blank state the rest of the day. Wondering what in the world is going on and who is doing this to us. As I rushed home to the turn the TV along with the rest of my family. For the next 5 days we all stayed glued to the TV like most americans. I remerber telling my Family that on Saturday there would be NO TV! turned on in our house. It was hard for me to watch my family as they wondered were they safe anywhere and what am I suppose to do to help now. Like most of the world "our lives have changed" and "our love for each other"!
