Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On Sept. 11 I went into work just like any other day. I sat down at my desk and began to check e-mail and listen to voicemail, again, just like any regular day. However, soon after settling in for the day's work a co-worker came by and said, "Did you hear that a plane crashed into the World Trade Center?" I knew the situation must be bad but assumed that it was an airline accident due to a malfunction with the aircraft, etc. The word "terrorism" didn't cross my mind at the time. A few minutes later I tried to check several news outlet's websites but could not get any pages to load due to the overwhelming traffic on the Internet. Then I went down to the atrium of my office building (where a large TV was located) and saw most everyone in my office gathered around watching as the horrific attacks took place. We literally sat there all day watching the TV...clearing our calendars and cancelling meetings so that we could keep up with what was going on. Although I was 1,000 miles away from what was happening in NYC, I can remember even the smallest details of that day as I watched the terrible events that happened to our country. The next day I travelled to Atlanta for a business meeting. There was an eerie feeling inside of me as I passed the Atlanta-Hartsfield Airport. Typically I would see 5 - 10 airlplanes take off while passing by the airport...however, on 9/12 there was a peculiar calmness at the normally bustling airport due to the grounding of all aircraft. The events of the day of and the weeks following 9/11 will stick in my mind forever.
