My brother called me from Manhattan while walking to the bank where he worked and told me that there had been an accident. I spent the whole day crying, freaking out and trying to get him back on the phone, just for a second...it was probably the worst day of my life.Bexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157342348881579249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212966161473091106.post-2057255672036044122008-09-11T10:14:00.000-07:002008-09-11T10:14:00.000-07:00I posted about it, too today- Mine is similar to ...I posted about it, too today- Mine is similar to yours, just an everday person- touched by it!

At first I thought they were joking until I saw it one TV. I remember the reporters on scene barely able to get words out. My first panic attack occurred during the United 93 movie. It was on TV last week and I still can't watch it.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13804986298540603425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7212966161473091106.post-75738680605261160932008-09-11T07:02:00.000-07:002008-09-11T07:02:00.000-07:00I was also a sleep-deprived new mom, so my husband...I was also a sleep-deprived new mom, so my husband woke me saying "a small plane crashed into the World Trade center - you have to see this".
