Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I prepared for work as usual, glancing briefly at the television as I dressed. The Today show was on and I heard Katie Curric say "something is happening." From that point on I was glued to the TV. Like many Americans I witnessed the second plane fly into the World Trade Center (WTC) Tower 2. Initially, I thought there had to have been an catastrophic break down of the New York Air Traffic Control System. My brain refused to process what my eyes had sent it. But my heart knew. I quickly dressed and drove to work. The Gold Star bridge was virtually empty of traffic and there were no planes in the sky. Upon arrival at work, I heard that the Pentagon had also been attacked. I felt unsafe living so close to the Groton Subase. All I could think of was an attack on our Nuclear submarines. I called my husband and attempted to reach my son, a student at the University of Connecticut. I layed my head on my desk and cried.
