I realized that was confusing right after I posted it. I meant I'll always remember where I was when 9/11 happened.I know my story is nothing in comparison to the people who lived it, I just for some reason feel the need to share how it went down in my little insignificant life. I was at work, already at my desk and preparing for the work day. My coworker came in saying "Did you hear a plane flew into the World Trade Center?" (It had JUST happened) I was like "What?!?!" and immediately turned on my radio. Of course at first we thought it was an accident. We were discussing how such a thing could happen when we heard that the second plane hit. I remember saying, "Sh-h-h! Sh-h-h! Another one just hit!" We knew then we were being attacked. We sat around my little radio for the rest of the day, not even pretending to work, looking at each other in horror and disbelief as the rest of it happened. And then the horror stories began coming in. Being as it was chaos and everyone was taping live, I heard some things that I'll never forget, and won't repeat. And yes, we did get told to go back to work (albeit timidly). Some people are just dead inside.
