I was at work with a photographer taking photos for a brochure I was working on. Some guy comes up to me and says, "a plane hit the Pentagon!". I'm like, get the hell out of here...that's a low building! He says, "it did, and 2 hit the WTC!". I'm like, "shut the hell up, that's not even funny!". So he made me walk into his office and look at cnn.com, and there it was. I was disgusted and scared. Here I was, in between these 2 cities under attack...we were just worried it was us that was next! We left work at 11 am, and apparently so did everyone else, b/c the streets were just clogged with people and lines formed at the pay phones. Cell didn't work. I went home with a friend of mine, as she didn't want me at my house alone. When I finally got home at 4 pm, I had more than a few frantic phone calls.
The thought of that day still makes me feel physically ill. The courage of all of those people is what makes me know that if we made it through that, we'll be ok.
God Bless America.
