My name is Jennie Swarner. I live in Lambertsville Pa. My husband and I were sitting in the living room the morning flight 93 crashed. All of a sudden there was a weird noise and the house felt like it was being turned in side out. We have three dogs and they were barking like crazy. I jumped up and looked outside to see which way they were barking. I looked out my bathroom window to see. What I saw was a big mushroom cloud of smoke. I said to my husband something must have exploded where my sisters son Michael works. Just then the phone rang, it was my sister. She said to me Jennie were did that airplane crash she kept asking me and I said what airplane because I didn't know it crashed. Then I realized it must have crashed where her son works. I said oh my god Linda I don't know how to tell you this but I think it crashed where Michael works. She got off of the phone. I went outside with my husband and saw my sister and her husband driving by real fast. They were going to see if there son Michael was all right thank god he was. Her husband and her came back to my house she was realy upset,we both were realy upset. I tried to call my sons to tell them we were all right but the phones were down. My youngest son Charles came home. He heard it on the radio and it said the plane crashed on Lambertsville Rd.we live along Lambertsville Rd. I finally got through to were my son Mark works, but I was to upset to talk to him he said he was glad we were all ok and he would see us after he got off work. My sister finally got through to her son Eric to tell him what happened and to tell him his brother was ok. All my sisters were calling to make sure we were all ok.It was a horrible tragedy that took place that morning. I will never forget what happened that morning. Our little town of Lambertsville could have been hit by the airplane. We live about a quarter of a mile from where the plane crashed. The people aboard flight 93 are all heroes they saved a lot of lives that morning by trying to keep the hijackers from taking over the plane,but had to give up their lives. God bless all the HEROES of Flight 93.
