FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON I GOT UP EARLY THAT DAY AND CALLED MY SISTER,WHO LIVES IN SCOTLAND...SHE IS THE ONE THAT TOLD ME THAT THE TOWER HAD BEEN HIT. I IMMEDITELY TURNED ON THE TV JUST IN TIME TO SEE THE SECOND TOWER GET HIT...MY SISTER SAID THERE WERE MORE PLANES CRASHING..I BEGAN TO PANIC, FOR MY DAUGTER HAD JUST LEFT THAT MORNING FOR HER HONEYMOON..AND I DIDNT KNOW WHAT PLANE SHE WAS ON. I STARTED CALLING PEOPLE TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT PLANES WERE EFFECED.....IT WASNT UNTIL 9:30 THAT NIGHT THAT I HEARD FROM MY DAUGTER...SHE WAS ALRIGHT AND IN SOUTH CAROLINA, THAT IS WHERE THEY MADE HER PLNE LAND....I CANT IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS LIKE FOR THE FAMILIES OF THE PEOPLE IN THE TRADE CENTERS OR THAT WERE ON THE FLIGHTS THAT CRASHED..I KNOW FOR ONE BREIF MOMENT I WAS TERRIFIED THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS ONE OF THEM.....MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL THE FAMILIES THAT LOST LOVED ONES..I WILL NEVER FORGET, GOD BLESS EVERYONE OF THEM.......ANNE
