Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband was an over-the-road truck driver at the time, and I was 2 months pregnant with our first son. We were in an underground cave, waiting to be loaded and to head out west for my birthday. Since we were not allowed to turn on the radio we had to depend on the cb for everything. All of a sudden a man's voice crackles over the cb, "hey guys, you have to hear this"....and then he broadcasts the local radio station over the cb, another man's voice full of shock and disbelief "there has been a horrible accident, a plane just flew into the first world trade center" and as he continues his story, he cries out, "my God, another plane has just slammed into the side of the other trade center!" My husband and I were both filled with disbelief and shock. What was going on? About 30 minutes later we left the cave and headed for the nearest truck stop, scanning through the different radio stations trying to figure out what was going on. Walking into the truck stop it had an earie feeling to it, nobody was talking, everyone was gathered around all the available tv's and the truck stop had the local radio station broadcasting over their speakers. I know my husband and I were so thankful that we were safe, we had just gotten out of New York on September the 10th and had driven through Pennsylvania earlier that morning. We later ran into another truck driver that was shocked, he had just delivered new furniture to the WTC the day before. American flags started showing up anywhere and everywhere a truck driver could attach one. Im so thankful that I and my family are ok, though Im still scared to fly. And I think of September 11th every time I hear an airplane. God Bless America!!
