Eight years ago today, the nation, indeed the world, was changed forever. It is a day which I shall never forget.
I was getting ready for work. As I always do, I had the radio tuned to KSL. I heard them reporting about a plane that had crashed into one of the World Trade Center buildings. Then they announced that a second plane had hit the other tower. I knew then it was not an accident. It was an attack. I ran upstairs and told Mom what was on the radio. She quickly turned on the TV and we watched the news reports and saw the video of the second plane hitting the tower. It was stunning.
I drove into work, not even paying attention to the road. I was intently listening to everything that was being reported. I was working in Preston at Freedom Plastics as a sales representative. I think I received 2 phone calls all day long. When the first tower fell, I was stunned. When the second tower fell, I just sat at my desk and stared out into space. I could not believe it. I said a silent prayer to myself.
I have often wondered what I would have done if I had been at the twin towers on that day. This video is about someone who was.
