911DA Story: Story

I remember I was on my way to work when it happened. I got to work and turned on the radio as usual to listen to some music. It was shortly after that when they started to announce that the first tower was in flames. shortly after that they told about the next tower being hit and then knew it was a terroist attack. It was a horrible feeling knowing from what I was hearing about that such a thing was happening. I just couldn't visulize what was going on and I couldn't see it either being at a job where there was no television and I wasn't going to get home before 4:00 that day so all i could go by was what i heard on the radio and what customers were telling me. I didn't know anyone there bit that didn't really matter because it still was so disturbing to me it was like a part of me was there and the people were to me like friends and relatives. I still can't understand to this day how anyone could just kill in cold blood like that! I pray that we never have to witness another day like that again!
