Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was driving to work and remember thinking what a beautiful suuny day for September. Then on the radio came a special news break indicating that a plane had hit one of the WTC towers. My day immediately darkened. I remember feeling sick to my stomach because my only niece, Sara Sympson, worked for Deutsche Bank which was located close to the towers. I then began calling my sister and attempted to call my niece. I finally got a hold of my sister who was terrified but said she had just talked to Sara but the call was cut short when Deutsche Bank evacuated it's employees. I left to stay with my sister and to wait to hear from Sara again. When I got to my sister's office she had the TV on and within minutes we watched the second plane hit the other tower. At that point in time we realized what was happening and we both wept & prayed. I prayed that God would send down angels to help the victims and my niece. We then waited for a very long 6 or so hours before we heard from her again. The DB employees were evacuated to Battery Park. As the first tower tumbled she ran/walked back to her apartment on E 95th street scared but not physically injured. My heart aches for those who lost loved ones in this terrible act of violence. More than anything I want to thank all the people who remained calm and helped others to safety and express gratitude to all the families of the people who died attempting to help others live. I know they will hold a special place in heaven. The Bible indicates that billions of people have lived since Adam, but that God knows,loves and remembers the face and name of each person.
