We'd just purchased a new home and I'd just gotten our young kids on the school bus. I had FOX news on and my husband was still getting ready for his daily commute to work. I was shocked to see on the news the airplane hit the first tower. I quickly called my husband in and we were both shocked and in disbelief.
We watched the first tower burning, the horror and then the second tower was hit. Then even further destruction as the subsequent plane crash in PA and at the Pentagon. We decided to pick-up our kids from school, as we did not know the extent of these terrorist attacks. The school was jam packed with parents who, like me, thought the same thing.
We lived in the Wash DC area and it's ironic that just four months prior to 9-11, my husband had a DOD contract opportunity at the Pentagon. He had made the decision to take an alternative contract at a different DOD facility. Needless to say, that alternative DOD facility closed down completely on 9-11 as a safety measure.
FYI; My high school friend was a FOX reporter commentating live in NYC. He was covered in ashes from the first building collapse, but kept on reporting. Thanks to Rick Leventhal for his courageous reporting.
