Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was sitting with an Auditor going over company processes, all of a sudden there was a strange silence in the building and people were getting up out of their desks. They were heading for the main conference room which housed a television. Somebody walked by and said in a very soft voice the Trade Center in New York city has been hit by a plane. The Auditor and I looked at each other and went to the room, by the time we got there the second tower had been hit. We were all shoved into this room you could hear a pin drop as we watched the events unfold. The Pentagon, the Towers crumbling, the plane that went down in Pennsylvania, you could hear people starting to sob. We couldn't believe our eyes or what we were hearing and seeing. People who lived close to the site ran home and brought in more televisions so we could keep up on the events as they were happening. Some of the employees starting calling family and friends in the New York area to see if they were safe. We had to struggle to get through the rest of the day, most of us were in tears and full of fear of what will happen next, then the skies were silent, no planes it was a very eerie feeling. I'm from New Jersey originally and worried about the people back home since we lived in a town 30 minutes outside of New York City. Today one year later I still struggle with the events of that day, the people whose lives were taken from their loved ones, young, old so so many people. Those who left us that day and those they left behind remain in my prayers everyday. I will never forget, I don't think any American will forget September 11th 2001.
