I was in bed on the west coast when my phone rang sometime before 6 am. I heard my husband answer it and then I started to worry. No one would call us at that hour. Jonathan yells for me to come to the phone and as i reach for it he runs to turn on the tv. As i place the earpiece i hear my mother crying "oh my God, all those people.

I sat and watched on TV.

I grew up in NY and my mother had worked in the trade center for years.
