My story isn't as riveting as many of these accounts, I heard snippets on the radio during my 45 minute commute to work. When I got to work everyone was packed in the break room watching the news on TV. On the drive I I was confused, assumed it was a really bad joke or something.
I just wanted to mention how many of these accounts talk about being glued to the news that day. We depended on journalists to keep us informed. I had no idea at the time we might not be getting the truth. This event is what began to open my eyes.
My story is exactly the same, except I wasn’t listening to the radio on my drive in that morning. I found out about what happened once I got to the office. The first tower had just been hit, and the TV news reporters still thought it was a private small plane. We all were glued to the TV that day— I remember the Executive Assistant to the CEO making several calls with the travel agency the company used, because the CEO, and several other Execs and sales people were traveling and needed to scramble to rent cars to get back home. (All planes were grounded, and other accommodations were going fast with all of the people switching their travel plans.) She also came around to everyone to left them know the status of our colleagues who were traveling. All were safe, but it took them several days to all get back.
