I was 23 and in Caro Michigan inspecting a State Psychiatric Hospital when some ladies walked by and and said a plane hit the WTC. I thought that sucks, not realizing what was happening. I continued working until another lady came in and said "they hit the white house" and at that point my jaw dropped and I was speechless. I went to watch the TV and learned what was really happening as they locked down the buildings we were in at that time. As soon as I saw that both buildings were hit i knew they were going to come down. I was working with a army reservist and she was thinking she'd get called in pretty quickly.
I got my work done as quickly as I could and returned to GR that afternoon and went to the bar my friends worked at and was glued to the TV. I remember being absolutely GLUED to the television for the next few days
I explicitly remember everything that day from the clothes I wore to the food I ate and being in shock at what was going on.
As a lot of people say, there's a pre-911 attitude and a post-911 attitude. That day changed everything.
