911DA Story: Story
My husband came into the house telling me to turn on the TV as the World Trade Center had been hit by a plane. As soon as we turned it on, we watched the second tower being hit by a second plane. We could not figure out what was happening as it seemed surreal. We then noticed a smaller screen showing the pentagon.
While trying to figure all this out, the mayor of Cleveland came on the news saying that there was an unidentified plane in their air space. Still confused, we went outside to try to see the plane, which we did not.
We then called both of our children, one of whom lived in Hawaii and was still asleep.
I don't believe we have ever been this upset in our entire 60 something lives, and sincerely hope we are never again in this position.
