Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I think in some aspects I shouldn't be posting on a site about Sept. 11th because I wasn't at any of the locations where the actual tradegies occured. But, with that said I felt that I have something to contribute even if it's just someone reading and the thought "I felt the same thing" comes to mind. I started work early that morning probably about 6am when we reached the hospital where I was temp for the summer. I remember getting everything ready for what seemed to be another boring day of entering patient information. A few hours into my work I noticed the lite rock radio station that they had pumped through the speakers of all the rooms had changed to news. At first I was confused and thought maybe someone was doing a skit or some sort've morning talkshow joke (as they sometimes do). I wandered up to the front desk where I was greeted with people scrambling around to get a spot to watch the breaking news. We actually were watching when the 2nd plane hit tower 2 and all of sudden the sound, the world even, stopped. I remember just sobbing saying "Who would do this?" over and over. As the day progressed and more news came in on what had happened, and where the planes had crashed the level of fear began to rise. There was rumblings about how they were going to lock down the hospital because people feared that the planes were aiming for Pittsburgh. A silly thought in retrospect, but I kept thinking how insignificant and powerless we all are in stopping any of this. In some ways I still feel that way, that we will never be in control even if we think we are.
