what were you doing on 9/11

I was just getting off shift at the fire station I worked at. One of the guys coming on said a plane had hit one of the towers. We turned on the tv and watched it unfold. There wasn't much sitting around at first because we sensed what was happening. I helped plan for our potential disaster or deployment into Chicago if needed and made phone calls and readied gear. After that was done I went home and looked east towards Ohare airport and watched the planes circle and land until they were all gone from the air. I am still angry and sad about that day and think of the men and women who died almost every day.
