Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Just as Alan Jacksons "Where Were You" song talks about, I was "working on a stage in L.A.". I had started work at 5:00 am Pacific Time. I was working on the NBC game show Weakest Link. The mean Brittish host Anne Robinson was supposed to be interviewed by I think it was the Today show live via sattelite. Needless to say, all of the TV's on stage were tuned to NBC. At about 5:45 am, the first pictures were shown of the first plane burning inside the tower. All eyes were fixated. No one wanted to look, but no one could turn away. No one could believe what we were witnessing. Obviously our interview was not going to happen that day. But something much more substantial was. Just when we thought we had seen it all, the second plane hit the second tower. I seriously thought I was going to be sick to my stomach. I could only immagine the number of lives that were changed by these events. I called my folk who were deep in sleep in a suburb of the San Fernando Valley. I was yelling "Wake up! Turn on the TV, were under attack!!!" My fater thought it was a joke! He laughed it off and hung up the phone. Only to have my cel. phone ring back a minute later with him in histericks. As rumors started flying as they so often do around Hollywood. There was talk that a plane from Las Vegas was hijacked and headed to Los Angeles. All sorts of crazy stories. Even while all of this was going on, the immages were still on TV, and everyone was watching intently. Then it happened. The towers fell. I had that "sick" feeling in my stomach again. I was surrounded by co-workers, but I felt so scared, afraid, and alone. It was REALLY weird. I know I didn't mention Flight 93, or the plane that hit the Pentagon, but those events did significantly add to the horror and sadness that I felt on September 11, 2001.
