Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was about 15 mins to 9 AM when I had just stepped out of my Intro to Religion class, which ironically had just finished discussing the Islam Religion. As i proceeded to walk across campus to my next class, a bunch of friends of mine called out my name and told me that the WTC had just been bombed and i was like, "You guys are crazy, you just dont play around about shit like that" they said we're serious and to go check it out myself in the library because they had a TV set-up. As i entered the library and went upstairs to find the TV set, i will never forget the sight i saw, 2 little nuns praying the rosary and about 5 faculty members huddled around this small tv set and as i aimlessly stared at the screen the 2nd plane hit the 2nd tower. I couldnt believe what i had just seen. I was overcome by a sense of helplessness that i had never felt before or since then. As they replayed the scene over and over again, all i could think of was that this MUST be a scene from a movie, that something like this could never happen in the US, that these types of things happen in Kosovo, Israel, etc but not here in my own backyard. I then began to think about my sister who worked in the city and i was worried that the attacks werent near finished. At this point, we were in war for all i knew. Cell phones weren't working and i had trouble getting in contact with her and the rest of my family. At the end of the day we were all united in my house glued to the TV for the next next few days.
