I was driving my school bus route when the planes hit the World Trade Center. As the kids were getting on the bus they were asking me if I had heard what had happened. I turned the volume up on the radio and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It was 9:35am when I got home and put on the TV to see what was going on. I called my parents to see where my brother was as he is an EMT with the Fire Department and found out he was home asleep. I woke my husband up as he is Airport Security out by us and told him I thought he should get up as two planes just flew into the World Trade Center buildings and I had a feeling he was going to be called in real soon. Within 10 minutes they called him to come to work. When the Towers fell I couldn't believe what I had witnessed. All I kept thinking was all the people who were in those buildings when they fell. As long as I live I will never forget the site of those buildings coming down.
