Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was on my way to Famous Anthonys to pick up breakfast for our company. I was listening to the radio and talking to the girl that was with me. When suddenly the DJ Melissa Morgan came across the air and said that a plane had just crashed into the WTC. Me and the other girl were shocked and trying to figure out what was going on. I thought that it may have been an idividual airplane that had gotten off course and maybe lost control or something. The other girl thought the same. We got our breakfast and on the way back to the office we heard that a second plane had hit the other tower. We then knew that something was up. We got back tot he office and everyone was in the Kitchen watching the local news channel. No one could say anything we were all just in shock. I couldn't believe this was happening to us to the United States and mostly to the innocent people who were just living their day to day lives. When I found out definatly that this an intentional act I cried. To me how could someone be so angry and so irrational to do something like this. And then to know that they were our planes that were used to do this horrible deed is just unbearable. I thanked GOD that day that not a single member of my family was in any of those planes or buildings that day. And to those families that were my heart, sympathy, prayers & love goes out to you. I can't say that I know what it was like to loose someone you truly love and care about in that terror attack. But I can understand the confusion & devastation, and the feeling that this horrible thing has happened and there is nothing you can do about, feeling like the smallest person in the whole world. And asking myself what have you done to still be here? Waht have you done to be spared? Why wasn't it me in one of those buildings that were destroyed? Well all that I had to comfort me that day, watching all of this unfold before my eyes, was that GOD has a plan and this is all in his plan. All you can do is try to understand that without suffering there would be no compassion in the world that we live in today. My prayers and love are with those who will never have a family member or friend come home to you. God bless you all!!
