[QUOTE="Buttercup, post: 332838, member: 990"] I was at work. The husband of one of my staff members called to say that a plane had hit one of the twin towers. I went into the staff lounge and wheeled the television out into the area where all of us were working. We heard about the pentagon, saw the footage, and then watched as, live on CNN, the second plane flew into the other tower. We wondered if it was the beginning of the end. I called my husband, and told him that I loved him. I thought about my dog, peacefully sleeping in her crate at home. I got out the emergency handbook for my organization, and reread the part about civil disasters. I watched more TV. By the end of the work day, we no longer feared that WW3 was about to start, but we were all weepy and horrified, and filled with a cold anger. I was never so happy to see my husband & my dog as I was that night. Both safe, warm, alive. It took me at least 3 months to be able to think of that day without shedding a tear for all of our dead. I think that, for the rest of my life, I will be able to close my eyes and see that second plane fly into the building, and the bright orange flames blossom like a giant, hellish flower. [/QUOTE]
