[QUOTE="Chrysoula, post: 334766, member: 5662"] My housemate banged on my door early in the morning (PST). He came in. He told me, "Both the World Trade Center and the Pentagon have been attacked." I fell out of bed. I didn't understand. I thought a military force had attacked. I went to the living room. I saw the south tower of the World Trade Center collapse. I might have collapsed, too. Hell of an image to wake up to. I went back to the bedroom and woke up my boyfriend. The three of us watched footage of the plane crashing into the tower. Then I called each of my two best friends. I woke them up; told them incoherently that the tower /fell/ and made them turn on the TV. Eventually, my housemate and I both went to work. At work that day, I was numb-- I wrote journal entries and talked online with friends. That night, my friends and I went out to dinner at an empty Japanese restaurant, where we all huddled together for comfort. My friend Neil commented at the time that the two towers were heroes, holding up as long as they did. But that just made me want to cry more. I've always been attached to symbols, and like somebody else, when I was a child, I once failed to see the top of the WTC from the bottom because I couldn't crane my head enough without falling over. I got in touch with my two aunts who live in New York City that I hadn't talked to in a handful of years. I'd thought I remembered my cousin was a fireman... turns out he's actually a cop. [/QUOTE]
