Received a call at 8:50 AM that a plane hit the World Trade Center tower. We got the TV out and starting watching it in amazement, only to see the second plane hit the second tower. We were standing around the TV in awe that something like this could happen in the U.S. Our hearts went out to everyone in that area. We stood there wondering who could do this and more importantly WHY! In that were are in the highest office building in Detroit, Michigan, most of the workers left to go home. Some afraid of an attack here and I guess some to get out of working. I stayed but didn't get much work done due to watching the TV. I cried when the buildings started to crumble, knowing that many people would not get out. It is sad that life has to throw us so many obsticles in life. That was a hard way to bring Americans together. Let's hope people remain friendly and some good came out of this tragedy.
