    I remember when I heard the newscaster talk about the first plane hitting ( before the second crash occurred), that I got a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach and I knew- just knew- that the crash had not been an accident.

    I turned to one of my classmates and told them what I was feeling. Just as I finished the sentence, the second plane crashed in the building, underlining my point.

    It was so surreal and sickening- the whole sequence.

    In college taking Radio, after the 2nd plane hit, they released us to go home. I remember, this was before I had a car, I was walking to the bus stop and people were crying and looked scared, even as I went through downtown on the way home, I just saw people look lost and sad. Sad day.

    I got home and watched TV for the next week, almost day and night. As much as I could. I did get many calls to enlist right away from recruiters. Actually do remember thinking they might bring back the draft.

    I was pulling into the office parking lot when I heard, on the radio, a small plane had crashed into one of the World Trade Center towers. I parked, walked into my office and turned on the television – CNN or FOXNews (I don’t remember), probably FOXNews because that’s where it remained for the rest of the day…but, I could have started out on CNN. Anyway, when I turned on the television, they were broadcast what I thought was videotape of the crash. It didn’t register with me that one of the towers was already smoking but, I do remember thinking, that’s not a small plane. Then, I realized the other tower was already hit and it immediately sunk in.

    I moved the television to a common area, assemble staff and gave them the option to watch, go home, or stay at their respective stations and conduct business.

    Most of us stayed glued to the television for the rest of the day. I don’t think the phone rang that day except for when one of our friends or relatives called to talk about what was unfolding.

    I also made a couple of attempts to call a relative of mine that, at the time, lived in Queens and worked in lower Manhatten. For obvious reasons, I wasn’t successful. I wasn’t particularly concerned because they didn’t work in the immediate vicinity of the WTC but, nonetheless, I felt it important to connect.

    I finally just called their immediate family, back here in Texas, who had already heard from them.

    I vividly remember watching when the first town collapsed as the on-air personality was jabbering about something. It was surreal…

    We’ve all seen the images and footage over the years so, beyond that, I’m not sure what I remember from that day or what was seen at a later date.

    At work...drinking coffee and listening to WBAP in Dallas. When they broke in with news, I immediately went to CNN's website. The server was being crushed so I went to MSNBC. I was one of the few on my floor that could get a good connection. Everyone gathered around my desk and we just sat there and watched in silence. When the second plane hit, people around me screamed in shock. More than a few started to cry. I guess we sat there for a couple of hours before any of us thought about leaving.
