I can still remember everything about that day:

I was in college @ Suny Old Westbury & a student came in & said that a plane crashed into one of the towers-we thought it was just an accident-then as i walked to my other class, everyone was huddled around the teachers desk-(her daughter worked in one of the towers)-it was then that we learned the other tower was hit too & that we were under attack-I was sooo scared b/c my (then boyfriend) sometimes worked in the city & his brother & wife worked very close to the twin towers-I tried calling my bf but all the phone lines were down-I left class & went home & thank god my bf came home after  me.

I watched the news & couldn't get the images out of my head of the planes crashing into the towers & the poor innocent people jumping out of the windows.

I knew of at least 8 people who died that day & every year on this day when they call out the names, I can't help but cry for these poor families that have lost loved ones.
