I was driving to work at 0700. I had not turned the radio or TV on yet that morning. I tuned my radio into the local radio station and caught the announcer saying "this next song will appropriate for what has happened" and he began to play Horror Movie by Sky Hooks. I wondered what he was talking about and listned to the song until the end when the news came on. The news reader began retelling the account of the events of September 11th. My immediate thought was "is it aprils fools day...they must be playing a joke!" When I arrived at work and saw the images of the planes crashing into the buildings I was horrified. I thought "my God what is this world coming to". I spent the rst of my day listening to the radio. When I got home all I could do was sit down and rewatch the video of the planes crashing and the buildings coming down. It was a very frightening time for me and my whole family.
