I first found out about the attacks via the Drudge Report. "WHO DID THIS??" stared at me. I turned the TV on to MSNBC. My mother was working in the Federal Building at the time- I tried to call her but the lines were understandably busy. I stewed and just thought of her being in Manhattan, and being stuck in the mass exodus. I then received an e-mail from her- she had taken the day off because she had a tooth abcess taken care of that Monday. Her friend Annie saw the second plane hit.
