Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Someone in our office received a phone call and asked if we had heard what had just happened. Immediately we turned on the TV and watched in horror as the two planes crashed into the buildings - over and over they showed it. We sat spell-bound, eyes glued to the set. Horrifying we watched as people started falling/jumping out of windows while people on the ground were scrambling to gain distance from the two buildings. Then we watched as the fire fighters and police struggled to help those on the ground and evacuate others still in the buildings. The awesome power of the two buildings coming down was almost more than we could bear. This real action was much worse than any of the made-up stories you see on TV - it was live and we all felt helpless, our hearts going out to all those in and near the Twin Towers. Tear filled eyes looked on unable to break away - an unseen force demanding that we keep looking, keep watching even though what we saw was so dreadful. Our building was evacuated around 10:30 and we were told to go home. We were also told to report in late the next morning in case there would be another attack.
