SEPTEMBER 11,2001 BEGAN AS JUST ANOTHER ORDINARY DAY. I GOT UP LIKE MOST PEOPLE DREADING GOING TO WORK. I AM A BILL COLLECTOR. I WAS SITTING AT MY DESK WHEN AN ANNOUCEMENT CAME OVER THE INTERCOM THAT A PLANE HAD HIT THE TWIN TOWERS. IT BROUGHT CHILLS TO MY STOMACHE. ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS HER HUSBAND WAS SOPPOSTED TO BE IN THERE, SO IT MADE MATTERS WORSE. A FEW MINUTES LATER WE HEARD THE SECOND PLANE HIT. NOW I WAS A MESS. IT WAS ROUGH AS CO WORKERS WERE FRANTIC. WE ARE CONSIDERED HEARTLESS PEOPLE FOR THE JOB WE DO, BUT HEARING THIS BROUGHT TEARS TO MOST OF OUR EYES. TURNS OUT MY FRIEND'S HUSBAND WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC + NEVER MADE IT THERE. I WILL NEVER FORGET 9/11.......THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE.
