Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at working typing documents when a co-worker said he saw on-line that one of the Twin Towers was hit by an airplane. A couple of minutes later he said, "oh my god" they hit the other tower. We all ran upstairs to the 3rd floor Congressional office where there was a T.V. and saw what was happening. Everyone was in total shock. Next thing we knew it hit the pentagon and that took the cake because I had relatives and co-workers who worked there. I started to call my sister and my mom because this was my first government job and I knew nothing about D.C. at all. The phones just stop working and our building was evacuated. I felt alone and lost, sitting in Farragout North Park crying because I had know way of getting in contact with anyone. The only thing that would work was my pager, my dad and everyone else was paging and I couldn't call them back. I sat alone for about an hour or more when finally my phone worked and I was able to call my sister who gave me directions to get to Suitland Metro Station to meet her. The streets were crazy and people were saying don't take the metro because of bomb threats. Planes were flying over my head and I made the choice that if I didn't go try to take that metro I would be stuck in that park alone for a long time. Finally I reached suitland metro and saw my sister. I cried so much because I was okay and finally out of D.C. Unfortunately for a friend of mine Edmund G. Young Jr who worked for a contractor at the Pentagon wasn't so lucky. I will never forget September 11, 2001 for as long as I live.
