Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I remember that day like it was yesterday! It started out like any normal day. I made coffee watched the morning Today show. Took the kids to school and went back home. I left to go to my hair appt. which was around 8:30 in the am. I remember sitting in the chair getting my hair cut when we heared the report of the first air plane hitting the World Trade Center tower 1, at first we thought it was just a movie and then when we turned on the TV and could see what was going on and the second plane hit, WE KNEW it was not good. All you could think of was those poor people inside the buildings and how would they get out. At that point my hair appt was finished, all I could think about was wanting to go home fast and getting my kids and husband home to be together. On my way home is when I heard about all planes to be grounded and that the Pentagon was also hit by a plane. I was thinking to myself how could a start of a wonderful day turn out to be such a nightmare!! On my way home hearing about the planes I remember seeing a plane in the sky which was turning in unuasual way, it was heading back to our Greater Cincinnati Airport which is only a few miles away from where we live. Instead of going home because no one was there, I headed to my friends house who lives just a few blocks down the street when I got there we just hugged and cried and watched in Terror as the news kept comming in about the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon and the new news about flight 93 which had crashed in Pennsylvania which we later found out was also hijacked. Hearing this news made my friend worse because she is from Pennsylvania and she was worried about her family and friends who lived near where the plane went down so we tried to call her mother but could not get through because of everyone trying to reach loved ones. This day will always be in our minds! I don't think anyone human could ever forget this HORRIBLE DAY. In ending this I would love to say Thanks to all the wonderful people who help save people and who help with all their HEART. FOR YOU ARE THE TRUE ANGELS SENT FROM GOD!!!! GOD BLESS US EACH AND EVERYONE!!!!!! GOD BLESS THE FAMLIES WHO LOST THEIR LOVED ONES!!!!!!
