Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I live in St. Louis, MO. At the time I was unemployed and I slept late that day. I woke up still in a daze turned on the TV and saw what was happening. At first I thought it was just one of those afternoon movies. I then went to my computer to get on Monster.com. I had signed onto AOL and there it was on the Welcome screen. Thats when I was jolted out of that dazed state. I think I just stared at the TV for like a hour. About 2 minutes into it I just started crying. I just couldn't believe what was going on. I was in total and udder shock at what was happening. I sat online reading the news about while the TV was running. I would say about after 3 hours of watching I was just completely numb. I had talked to a couple of friends on the phone and we all wanted to get together. We went to a local club that night and tried to have fun but that didn't work out so well. We are all completely numb and in no mood to have fun. I know I wasn't because I just couldn't stop thinking of all those people that lost their life and their families. I remember that weekend going back to the club and I asked the bartender a question. See this club during the week had a $8 all you can drink. That night it was not packed like it always but they said that the average amount of drinks per person doubled. He said that they have never had sales like that. For days I was in shock and still to this day I am in shock at what happened that day. I know that is one of the days in my life that I will never forget. Right now as I am righting this I just can't believe that it has been three years since. Honestly I just can't believe that it happened.
