I'll start by stating that September 11th is my birthday.
Like every day, I was at work, and I was sitting at my boss' office checking something out with him, when one of my coworkers stormed in and said that we should come and see the news, because a plane hit the WTC, and that while she was watching the live coverage, another one hit the other building. We didn't know what it was, we just rushed to the lounge where the TV is at, and watched, totally shocked, how the Pentagon is hit, and how the buildings collapse. I drove home totally mute, and had to go out to dinner with my parents and sister, since 'after all, I am not to blame, and it's still my birthday'.
I remember just watching the news and thinking of bad American movies, and telling myself it just can't be true.

I was taking off school to go to my Great Uncle's funeral...while my mom was getting ready to go and I was sitting here on the computer, my dad was in the dining room watching TV and that's when it all happened. It was even more scarier when the second one hit...and that plane crashed right in my state. It was all too freaky...

I live in New York about 45 minutes away. I was at school when it happened sitting in class when a teacher with tears in her eyes told us what happened. She told us and no one could believe that some person ran a plane into the twin towers. All we thought was how stupid. No one realized how much our lives would be affected. Later that day I found out one of my teammate's dad worked at Canter Fitzgerald in the Twin Towers. That night we just prayed and begged for someone to find him. The next day they confirmed that he wasn't found. I broke down not knowing how to react. The rest of the week my team and close friends went to prayer services,etc hoping that he would soon be found. About a week after the attacks there was a memorial service and his wife with four kids declared his death. It was the toughest thing to watch. His wife cried and made me promise that I'd take care of her eldest daughter. We watched Nancy fall apart, her oldest son named after him trying to be strong for everyone, her second daughter in shock, and her youngest son of age 6 not understanding that daddy was never coming home. Spetember 11th changed my life forever and I am still affected by it today. We will never forget. God Bless and we miss you George Morell.
