911DA Story: Story

I was at work at the airport in Nashville when it happened. I actually worked for United Airlines. I had went to the restroom and there was alot of people standing around the tv monitors. I stopped and asked one gentleman what was going on and he turned around and saw my uniform and he said one of your planes just hit the World Trade Center as well as an American Airlines plane. I went back to the ticket counter and by then they had heard about it. The entire airport closed down. Everyone was crying and very upset. It was a terrible day.
