I was at work in Glastonbury fitting a kitchen, everybody stopped what they were doing and were listening to the radio in disbelief, on the drive home I was still listening with tears in my eyes.

I was sitting at home watching TV when it came on as happening news, the saddest thing that I have witnessed.

I was in a conference at a hotel about 2 miles away from the Pentagon. My friend had gone out to use the restroom and saw the first tower buring on the TV at the bar as he passed by. He came back into the meeting and told me I might want to look at what was happening. As we walked out to the TV, the second plane was just shown live piling into the second tower. I remember saying clearly to me the both towers were going to collapse, to which my friend said I was crazy. Unfortunately I was right. It kills me to watch the replays of the day since it feels like I was the only one who thought that, and seeing them sending more people into the buildings really hurt. We watched for a bit and we both felt the ground shake twice but at the time had no idea that the Pentagon was also hit and we had felt the concussion. We told the moderator and that crazy person running the meeting wanted to keep it going. I told him we were leaving NOW. Turned out that we could not return home to DE since all the bridges were shut down around D.C. so we had only the option of going south where there were no bridges, which we did and stayed at my friends house. We were able to return to DE the next day. Very scary day.

I was choosing a buriel site for my husband who died the on monday the 10. He had retired from US Airways. The day of the viewing the Pittsburgh airport was closed. We were an airline family and this effected us all. We still are an airline family and things have really changed.

I was on a United Airline Flight from Toronto to Chicago for a Printing show at the McCormick Centre. We were the last plane to land and new something was wrong when we went through the airport. Got in a cab and that’s when we found out the horrible tragedy. We were supposed to be a one night stay and home the next day but one of the printing companies in Canada sent down a bus to get us and we arrived back in Canada on the Thursday.

I was at home waiting for an inspector to inspect the house as it was for sale. I remember that my daughter-in-law and granddaughter came to the house to stay as it was a frightening day. We were all so upset and heartbroken just like most people. Shocking, as it was hard to believe that the US was attacked within our borders. I remember the real estate agent for the buyers had come to be present at the inspection. When I answered the door to her I asked her how she was feeling. Her comment to me was “I hope it brings them to their knees.” I to this day have no idea what she meant, US? Terrorists? What? I ordered her off my porch and told her she could wait in her car for the inspector. I will never forget the hurt I felt for our country when she spoke to me. To this day I pray that I misunderstood her.

V tu dobu jsem byl na nákupu a při prohlížení elektroniky si všiml, že na všech zapnutých televizorech běží útok na dvojčata. V první moment jsem měl za to, že jde o nějakou ukázku akčního filmu. Bohužel, šlo o opravdové útoky.
