911DA Story: Story

I had just arrived at work at 9:00 a.m. and had gone online to get my e-mails when the picture of the WTC showed up on the screen and it was on fire.

I went to one of my co-workers and asked him if he knew what was going on and he said no, so I went downstairs where I had a T.V. and brought it upstairs to my office.

Just as the T.V. was warming up I saw the pictures of the second plane hitting the WTC. I called my co-worker, Bud, and asked him to come down front to watch with me, we were SHOCKED.

I couldn't take my eyes off the T.V. and I couldn't believe what I was seeing, especially when the WTC came crashing down to the ground.

This is a day that I wish I could (but never will be able to) forget.

GOD BLESS AMERICA.
