Where were you on 9/11/01

I worked graves at the time and wasdriving home. I was listening to the X96 morning show and at first they thought it was a small plane. There hadn't been any real reports about what had happened yet. We had no idea that it was an attack on out wonderful country. One of the hosts laughed and said "what idiot can't see those big towers...." and it was fairly funny. Less than five minutes later he retracted his statement and said it was a jet. I get home and flip on the tv and watch in amazement still not knowing for sure it was a attack. After a short time, probably at the same time. Everyone in our country went into shock as we watched a second plane swoop around and hit the other tower. I can remember yelling to my Mom to come see this. The news anchors and everyone else went Solent for a short time. I was glued to the tv in amazment and shock. I remember watching the fire trucks and all other emergency vehicles. I then remember the reporters taking video of things falling from the towers, then realizing that they where people that were jumping.

When the first tower fell, I remember screaming out of shock. I knew I was in a bad dream that I couldn't wake up from. Still glued to the tv, I couldn't do anything. No sleep, no food, no anything. I watched all day and had to go back to work that night. I worked at wal Mary at the time. I remember it was a very long and strange night that night. We were sold out of things like gas cans, American flags, bottled water, and a few other items. I remember just about the whole crew sit in there watching the coverage still in shock and amazement that something like this could happen. I was 19 at the time and I will never forget that day.
