Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had just parked my car and had gotten on the shuttle when some guy said look the Trade Center is on fire. Everyone looked. When we got to the ferry dock, some guy had his video recorder out and there was a crowd of people around him so i walked over. "Whats goin on", i asked. "A plane flew into the Trade Center', he said. I couldnt believe it. I went inside and bought my tickets. Then, i walked over to the dry cleaners who had the tv on. The ferry arrives and i walk to the top and sit outside as i always did. Everyone one was looking and then we see an explosion. The second plane hit. When we got to NY the captain said "If you wanna go back to Jersey stay on the boat." To my surprise, out of about 100 people, 5 of us stayed. I tried to use a stranger's cell phone to call my mom but it didn't have any reception. Once we got back to Jersey and i started walking back to my car, i started crying. I was scared. By the time i got back to my car i had composed myself. The Lincoln tunnel was closed and there was a-lot of traffic but thankfully i was going in the other direction. When i got onto route 3 east i did about 90 MPH home. Cops didnt stop me they watched me go right by. I went to my girlfreind's house. When i got there everyone was around the tv or had the radio on. However, her sister's fiance worked around the block from the WTC and no-one had heard from him since the first plane hit. He was ok. His building was evacuated. That night, and for many nights after that, I couldnt sleep or watch tv. I always wanted to see history take place. I just wish it wasn't like this.
