I will never forget that day! It was stilll very early calif time. My than mother in law called to wake us up to say turn onthe tv and then my mother called on top of her so we had a conf call going
My side of the family was very worried because my mothers cousin works in WTC and she said he was in the first bulding that went down. Trying to call my aunt and uncle in So carolina was difficult for all calls nationwide but after hrs of trying we got thru and found out he and his family were on vacation that week so relief was very strong until my sister in law came over in tears because her father works out at the pentagon.
He didnt get home that night til 12 because of the chaos. What was sad though her parents nieghbors work at the pentagon too and they are both army. well it is clock work around those parts of VA for anything and that means the parents and the time they get hoem and when kids get home from school. my sister in laws mother noticed that these kids were hoem on the porch waiting for there parents to get home and it is getting 6 pm and at 7 they knew something is wrong so the kids went to their house to wait ..... will another neigbor who works for the pentagon got thru to someone who knew someone who knew them and apparently the side that got hit was the side both worked on and were killed. It was horrible.
My best friend margie who has a friend that worked in the same office and she just went to go get coffee for her boss and she left with only minutes until the plane crashed into her office...her boss died and so did those kids parents.
