I was at work when my co-worker's sister called and said "Your never going to believe what I just saw on TV...a plane crashed into a building." We all thought, oh, that's sad. We thought it was an inexperienced pilot who got confused. We did not know it was a commercial airline. Then we heard of the second plane going into the other tower, then the Pentagon...I was never so scare in all my life. I'm 26, I've never known of anything happening like this, especially in the United States. I had only been at my job for about a week and a half, I wanted to go home and be with my husband...I didn't care if I lost my job. I felt like the whole world was coming to an end. I felt so much sorrow for all that perished, all the survivors and all the families. All the children who lost their parents, all the firefighters and police officers who lost their brothers...what could we do to help? I work for a hospital in the business office...I had nothing to offer the people in NYC or Washington DC...so I did what I could...I began to pray.....
