Your memories of 9/11/2001
Advertisements [?]
I remember having coffee with my husband at about 9 a.m. upstairs in his office when he logged onto aol. There was a breaking news side bar on the news line that a plane had hit one of the world trade centers. We turned on the TV, we didn't have cable or dish and soon saw a news report about the plane hitting the world trade center. but not the one we were reading about. It was the second plane. We didn't realize that at the time.

Then came the reports that the Pentagon was hit. I wasn't afraid then. But then a report came on that a car bomb had gone off outside the State Dept. I really flipped out about that even though it wasn't true. I always wonder why that flipped me out more than anything. I got my kids home and then proceeded to scrup all of the furniture in the house clean. I don't remember anything else, except watching the people looking for loved ones that night on ABC. And balling my eyes out.

For some reason I think of this every day. Does anyone else relive 9/11 in such a way.
