911DA Story: Story

I awoke to my wife screaming "jimmy!...Jimmy! Wake up!!As i tried to wipe the sleep from my eyes, my wife,sitting on the end of the bed,turned to me and said " A plane just crashed into the world trade center!" as I sat up ...confussed and sure that this had to be an accident.I noticed where the plane had hit the building...right in the center! I didn't say anything to my wife except "oh my GOD!!" but to myself I thought that if this had been an accident why didn't it just clip the building? About the time My mind had regestered that thought I looked at the T.V. and noticed a second plane...heading in the same direction.....NO!...I thought to myself...this can't be happining!
