Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I had planned on sleeping in that morning, as it was my day off. However, after my wife got out of the shower she woke me saying "Somethings going on in New York. One of the towers is on fire and it looks pretty bad." I got up and went into the living room where I sat on the couch and stared at the t.v. in amazement. My first thoughts were 'how could a fire that big have gotten this out of control?' and then the reporters began speculating that a plane had hit the tower. My wife left for work, and the reports confirmed that it was definately a plane that crashed into the tower. I called my Dad back in Delaware and asked if he had heard. He said that they were talking about it on the radio, but that it probably was no big deal. He assumed like so many did that it was a small twin engine plan that had problems and lost its way. I told him that I was looking at the pictures and there was no way a small plane did that. We disconnected, and shortly after the second plane hit as I was watching. I thought I was seeing things until they did a replay and confirmed that it was a passenger jet. I was on the phone with my parents most of the day, and we all screamed and cried when the towers fell. My wife was sent home early, and we held eachother all night, crying in disbelief. As long as I live I will never forget the way I felt that day, nor will I ever forgive those who committed this shameful criminal act.
