Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was on my way to drop my son off at the babysitters, when i had gotten there i saw the the first plane hit the World Trade Center in NY on her T.V. I remember thinking what a terrible accident! I got back in my car and headed off to work, the radio stations had stopped playing music and were all talking about what had happened! Then I hear the second building had been hit, I immediately called my boss who was still at home and asked her if she had spoken with her husband who works in NY she had and he was fine. We got off the phone and I immediately called my grandmother in Dallas, TX. We talked the whole ride into work when all of a sudden I hear the Pentagon had been hit, I was on the Key Bridge in Washington, D.C. I looked back and saw an explosion and lots of black smoke coming from the Pentagon. At that moment my phone had cut off and I lost contact with my grandmother. I remember looking around at all the people on the bridge and seeing everyone crying and looking around scared not knowing what to do. At that moment the radio stations were telling everyone that more planes were headed towards DC. I went on ahead to work(Georgetown) crying my eyes out not knowing if where they were going to hit next and when I got there the phones were ringing off the hook of family of myself and coworkers wondering if we were all ok. I remember the tone of voice grandma had when I called her back from work. She sounded so Happy and relieved that I was ok. My cell phone was dead for the next couple of days so i couldn't calls all that day. I don't think I would have believed it was all so real if I had not have seen it myself. After that day whenever an airplane would go by in the Washington area, everyone would kinda pause and look up to make sure it wasn't coming down. I can't remember a day when I cried so much for the people at the Pentagon and all the people in New York who had died such a painful and unthinkable death. I thanked God for September 12th.
