All I remember is how beautiful a day it was. My father-in-law called to tell me to put on the TV & see a plane World Trade Center was on fire. I could not believe him! Then I turned on my TV & was happening. Reports said a plane ripped into one of the Twin Towers. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was so horrific. I saw the other plane hit the second building & I prayed to God everyone would be okay. Then the people interviewed heard a rumbling & crumbling & before our eyes the mighty Twin Towers collasped like my son's Lego blocks but with a blast of snooty smoky clouds.
OH, how I cried!
You see the mass of humanity escaping the inferno by walking as if a fog or bad dream on the Brooklyn Bridge. What fiends could have done this to us!
Then, you heard how Flight 93 crashed & how the Pentagon was hit with a plane also. You see the wreckage & could only imagine how the relatives of the people who were in those structures felt.
That was the saddest day of my life.
