911DA Story: Story

I WAS ON THE BUS, LISTENING TO MY WALKMAN AND THE DJ CAME ON AND SAID THAT ONE OF THE TOWERS WERE HIT. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS, WHAT A STUPID PILOT! AND I YELLED OUT ON THE BUS WHAT I HAD HEARD. WHEN I GOT TO MY OFFICE, NO ONE KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING BECAUSE WE HAD NO PHONES AND NO COMPUTERS BECAUSE WE HAD JUST MOVED IN. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER I TURNED ON MY WALKMAN AND HEAR THAT THE TOWER COLLAPSED. I WAS SHAKING I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT!
