Houston, Tx Johnson Space Center Mission Control bldg. I was sitting at my desk with my office mate. Her phone rang and the next thing I heard her say to the person on the phone "A Plane crashed in the World Trade Center? Do you think it was terrorist?" I am thinking some idiot in a small plane had an unintentional accident. I pulled up CNN on the internet and I am looking at the picture. I tell her to do the same while she is still on the phone but she can't get the page to come up, do to heavy traffic. So all of a sudden she repeats "Another plane has crashed? This is no accident!" She quickly got off the phone and went into one of the rooms with televsions. I got worried thinking of my work location as a possible target. I said I am going to lunch early and I am not coming back today. I called my mom and told her I loved her. After the second tower collasped they told everyone to evacuate. What normally took 5 minutes for me to get home took 45 minutes as well. I watched TV all day. It was a very depressing day for me especially watching those that jumped to their deaths live on TV. We got the next day off too.
