Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11, 2001 I arrived to work at 8:30am. We got the news here at work minutes after the first plane hit. My first thought was that it was a plane accident or maybe a helicopter that hit the tower. Somewhere between 8:45am and 9:00am I called my mother, she works for the City of New York Home Care Services, 14th Street. When I called her she knew that a plane had hit the tower but, was not clear on what had actually happened. While we were on the phone people in her office were beginning to hear the news and she hung up to see what was going on. At that point, I learned of the second tower being hit and everyone at work began gathering around the television watching the news. The phone lines in that area were down and I was not able to contact my mother again until 7:00pm that night when she arrive at home. My mother was 61 years old and all I could do was pray that she was safe. She had left work around 10:00am that morning walking with a group of ladies from her job. She walked most of the way uptown and into the Bronx where she was able to get on several buses that would get her to Mount Vernon, NY. Thank God. While visiting the city in July, 2002 I went to the site where the Towers once stood, it was painful to see. 911 effected us all, I have thought of all the thousands of people in that building then and every day after.
