Once I got to work the second tower was hit, the internet was clogged and we had no TV. So I decided to go home. I had just found out I was pregnant with my first child the day before and I was feeling a tad bit emotional about what kind of world my child would be brought into. ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ I had just gotten out of the shower getting ready for school when I turned on my TV in my bedroom. The first plane had already hit and my initial reaction was &quot;It's just one of 'those accidents' that the news reports.&quot; Then right before I went out the door to finally get to school, I think I remember my mom screaming &quot;Oh my God,&quot; when the second one hit. <br>
<br>
I remember at school my P.E. teacher gave us a free period to just discuss it amongst ourselves. Me and some... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I was on my way to work and was driving by the Museum of Science and Industry when the first plane hit.  I listen to talk radio on my to and from work.  I heard the report from the hosts of the talk radio show when the first plane hit.  They did not have clear information and I like so many others thought this was some horrible accident by a small plane.  By the time I pulled up in front on my work, the second plane had hit.  I knew then it was no accident.   I went into to work and called my... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I was running late that morning.  I got out of the shower, went in my room, and started getting ready for work and turned on the TV... and saw Tower 1 on fire.  By the time I left for work, the second plane had hit Tower 2.  I remember telling my parents that two planes had hit the World Trade Center as I ran out the door.  On the train, I tried calling my parents at home and my sister, who worked at the Social Security building downtown, to see if either of them had heard anything.  The cell... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ It was the middle of the afternoon and I had just gotten out of bed because I work nights. There was a message on my answering mschine from my mom telling me to call her. So I called and she asked &quot;Did you turn the TV on?&quot; &quot;No.&quot; &quot;Turn it on.&quot;  I turned it on and they were showing just one4 of the towers smoking and I was like &quot;WTF is going on?!?!&quot; And then the second plane crashed. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was almost late for work that... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I had called in sick to work and was sitting right here in front of my home computer (different computer, same spot).  I got an e-mail from a friend who wanted to know what was going on because she couldn't get to any websites from work.  All the news sites were down.  There were conflicting reports about the Capital being hit, the White House, CIA headquarters.  For the next few days, I kept expecting the other shoe to drop.  That shoe is still up in the air--it's there. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I was getting ready for work...i was either working a 10-6 or 11-7 shift.  My bro comes to my doorway and says a plane hit the WTC. My first thought was WTF...what jackass who just got his licence flying his little putt putt plane, could miss a building that huge. Oddly enough that week i remember in the news there was 1 or 2 occasions where inexperienced pilots had to make emergency landings on highways.  So i walk over to the tv and they have a close up of the wtc and still i thought small... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I used to set the timer on my TV as an alarm clock. When the TV came on to get me up for work, this is what I awoke too. <br>
I was still half asleep and pretty stunned. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. When I got to UW-Milwaukee, everyone was gathered around the TV sets, crying... It was one of the most emotional days ever. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I was at my desk at work listening to the radio.  I still can't figure out why I was even listening to the radio because it's not something I normally do.  I don't get very good reception at my desk.<br>
<br>
The dj's said a plane hit the WTC and I thought &quot;How the hell does a plane hit the WTC?  It's not like it's difficult to see&quot;<br>

Like a lot of people, I thought it was just a small cub piper or something.  Then heard it was a commercial passenger jet.  Then the second... ]]></description>

While he and I were talking abut how a plane must have gotten off course the second one hit. Then we knew we were under a terrorist attack. ]]></description>

I thought it was an accident at first then after I sat down the second plane hit and realized that was no accident. It was horrible watching the second plane hit live then seeing both towers collapsing. The next day in all my classes we watched live coverage, The thing that got me the most when they were showing peoples loved ones crying holding up pictures of their... ]]></description>

<br>
I didn't find out until I went to my grandparent's house for lunch.<br>

By that time both towers were burning. Then the first one fell...and then we got a call telling me I had a new baby cousin. <br>

			<description><![CDATA[ I was at work having my annual review with my boss.  We were laughing and having a great time.  I left his office to go to the kitchen when a co-worker told me about the first plane hitting.  I thought it was just a small prop plane that got off course.  I went into our kitchen to see what was happening and was there to see the second plane hit.  My son was in preschool at the time and they made everyone come early to get their kids as they were closing for the day.  I spent the rest of the... ]]></description>

We tried accessing both cnn.com and msnbc.com for info, both both sites kept crashing during the day due to the heavy traffic. <br>

We have an Air National Guard squadron stationed at the local airport, and approx 10-11 AM a couple of F-16's took off in full afterburner headed someplace in a hurry. <br>

I sped to work, where the night shift guy had no idea what was going on. I turned the TV onto CNN, at which time my co-worker rushed home. I was at work alone all day, and watched as it all unfolded. My bosses called me every few hours making sure I was ok. I called my family, making sure they were ok. My bro-in-law told me how he had been on the... ]]></description>

Cynical, jaded New Yorker that I am, I went on my merry way not thinking anything of it.  Had I looked up when I got to the train station, I would have seen the tower and the smoke.  <br>

When the train got to Fulton Street some women came on saying that a bomb had gone off at the WTC.  I contemplated getting off to see what was happening but... ]]></description>

At first I thought it was a joke, but it wasn't.  So I dashed into my television room to turn on the telly only to have my worst fears confirmed.  It was awful.  Shock, complete shock.    So I called my parents, my Mom was from NYC and we have family there as well, to tell them the news.<br>
