Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was on my way to work when I first heard the news flash come on the radio station I was listening to at the time. It was 5:30..by the time i got to work because i started at 6:00..the report stated that an object or airplane at hit the world trade center. Now at this time they did not know what kind of plane it was or if this was just an accident. When I got to work and started turning my computers on to start my day that is when someone came up and said the world trade center was hit. There were some people in the company at this time and they had the a tv on..and we started watching it and this was when the the first plane hit. Then that is when we were watching that the second plane came in and hit. I went back to my desk.. went on the internet but the lines were busy and tied up..i went back to the tv and saw the first tower come down that was devasting to me because here we were and said what!!! no way this could be happening. The company at around 9:30-10:30..closed down because at that time there were other planes around and did not know targets...I went home and watch in horror on tv...but this was also the day i ordered my internet service and was talking to the representative down in la area. This is when i heard they were trying to land all the planes..and there were still some planes in the air that they did not know if more hijackers were on board. We come to understand as americans that we value life. As the days went on..my brother at this time was suppose to have a meeting in the world trade center on sept 12th the next day. I think what was going on his mind was if the company rescheduled or if the hijackers waited he could be a victim and even though we feel the loss of the people and our hearts go out to the families it gives us a perspective on life. To value each day we take, dont take life for granted and be kind to each other all the time.
