Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I WAS GETTING READY FOR WORK, WHEN I TURNED ON THE TV AND START FLIPPING THROUGH THE CHANNELS, TO SEE A BUILDING BURNING. I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE AT FIRST BUT THEN I HEARD THE NEWS CASTER SAY A PLANE HAD HIT THIS BUILDING. I THEN REALIZED IT WAS ONE OF THE TWIN TOWERS AND HOPED EVERYONE WAS SAFE. "HOW COULD A PLANE LOSE CONTROLL LIKE THAT", WAS ON MY MIND WHEN I SAW THE 2ND PLANE HIT THE OTHER BUILDING. MY HEART BROKE INTO. "WE ARE UNDER ATTACK"!!!!! KNOWING THAT ALL OF MY FAMILY WAS OK, MY THOUGHTS WENT TO MY BEST FRIEND WHO WORKS IN THE FEDERAL BUILDING HERE IN DALLAS. I CALL HER OFFICE AND GOT NO ANSWER. I CALL HER CELL PHONE AND AGAIN NO ANSWER. THEN I CALLED HER PARENTS HOME AND THEY COULD NOT GET IN TOUCH WITH HER EITHER. ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS PLEASE GOD DON'T LET HER GO TO WORK TODAY. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER SHE CALLED ME AND SAID THAT THEY LET EVERYONE GO HOME AND THAT THE TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAYS WHERE BAD. AND THEN THE PENTAGON AND THE CRASH IN THE FIELD.MY NEXT THOUGHT WAS HOW LONG BEFORE ONE HIT DALLAS. THE OFFICE TV WAS ON ALL DAY. WE WATCHED THE SADNESS AS IT UNFOLD. THEN I WENT OUTSIDE FOR LUNCH AND A CALMNESS IN THE SKY MADE ME SAD EVEN MORE. HOW WILL WE GET THROUGH THIS? WHO DID THIS AND WHY?
