Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11, 2001 it seemed as if it was an ordinary rushed morning. I had poured my coffee and I was on my way down to the basement to iron my work clothes, when the phone rang. I hesitated answering it since I was already running a bit behind but I did. My girlfriend had called and asked if I had my t.v. on, I replied no, she suggested I should turn it on and we would talk later. My son was dressing in our family room and was getting ready for school when I promptly turned off the PBS channel and turned on the local news. I could not believe my eyes, one of the worlds largest buildings was on fire and I sat in amazement when I suddenly saw another plane, in view, fly into the other tower. I screamed in fear and utter amazement as I watched the building implode. My son looked at me and asked me over and over what was happening. I was in a state of shock and my eyes had glazed over with sheer fear and confusion. I looked at him and he looked as confused and scared as I was and I had never even thought about explaining to my 4 year old, at the time what was happening. I calmly told him that a building had caught on fire and lots of people were in those buildings. I decided to turn off the t.v. at that point since he kept staring at the t.v. and I was afraid that he would hear one of the news commentators talk about the plane hitting the buildings. I decided at that moment not to try to explain to him that someone had purposely hit those buildings. I never thought that the world of terroism would come so close to home.
