Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was right at 6:00 a.m. when I awoke to my alarm. I was about to begin a new job at a gas station that day. My schedule was to meet my new boss at 8 a.m. and begin work at 10 a.m. After awaking, I heard something about the world trade center on the radio. Being half asleep still, it didn't really register that something had happened. After getting out of my bed, I went and turned on the television. They were showing an aerial shot from a helicopter quite a ways away from the towers. I kept watching as they were trying to figure out what had happened. By the time I had awakened, the 2nd plane had hit. So I'm watching along and when the first tower fell, they did not know what happened. I couldn't watch much of it because I had to meet my boss at 8. Well when I got there he had not heard about it. I was briefed then went back home to watch more of the story on tv. When I got to work, things were ok. Then about an hour later, people were coming in like gas was gonna run out, which it did before the end of the day. People thought gas prices were going to go up because they heard it on the radio. Well gas was high because it was just after Labor Day. It stayed about the same for several weeks before it started dramatically dropping. Well during the day it was busy all day. It only slowed down for one minute where we had only 2 cars at the station. Then it picked up again and was very busy past the time they let me go at 7 p.m. Cars were everywhere and it was not only at the station I was working at.
