Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had just been laid off from my job the week before, so I was at home setting up interviews for jobs. I was watching Good Morning America when they came on with a Special Report. A plane had crashed into one of the World Trade Center buildings. What a horrible accident this was, I thought, watchng black smoke billow out like a coal furnace. When the news crew backed up for a wider angle, I remember having as what can only be described as an extreme electrical shock run through my whole body, as a second plane flew into the other tower. I could not move or speak. It almost did not seem real. Then I knew at that moment our lives would be forever changed and scared. I knew from deep in my gut that terrorist had finally struck in America. For the first time in my life, I did not feel safe. As a lot of us did, anger also took hold and I wanted someone to pay. Then I just cried for hours upon hours and watched news coverage for days on end. Finally, I looked at my then 4 year old daughter, who then asked why I was crying? She could not understand much of what was happening then. It will be something she reads about in class some day. Still not feel the weight of matters that took place and how it changed the world. Alot like when I read about JFK, terrible it happened, but not totally getting the sorrow of the moment it happened. For I read about it in history and till 9-11, could not understand why my history teacher got a little misty eyed when telling his tale of November 22, 1963, much like I am now. We must never forget what happened and how we felt as a person, a people, a nation and as a world on September 11, 2001. God Bless America and Our Troops. We love you all.
