Where were you ?

[landmammaldolphin]

I was sitting at my desk at work when my mother called. She told me about something or other and then said that she also wanted to let me know that a plane had crashed into one of the WTC buildings. I immediately turned on the radio and told my co-workers about it. Just after that the 2nd plane hit as we were listening. Nobody was working at that time, just listening. A couple of us went to Sears electronics department at lunch and watched the coverage on their TV's. We didn't do much the rest of the afternoon and because planes were being grounded, UPS was basically shutting down which halted our shipments anyway. When 5 o'clock finally rolled around I rushed home to be with my family and girlfriend (who would later become my wife). I sat there all night glued to the TV and worrying about the future of America. I have never felt such despair or fear. I will never forget that day or the days following.
