Every year on 9/11 our nation pauses to remember those who lost their lives in the horrific terror attacks that took place 19 years ago today. Many of us can think back to that morning of #September11, 2001 & remember exactly where we were when the attacks occurred.

I was on the Grand Concourse in the Bronx, heading to a federal building for a Social Security hearing when I saw the smoke
The radio said it was an accident at first, reporting that maybe a small plane crashed
When the second plane struck, all doubt was removed

A group watched on a portable TV as the fires raged, and people leapt to escape the inferno, making an unthinkable choice-the only decision they had left-about how they would die

The first tower collapsed as we sat in horror
All those human beings, perished in an instant
But that didn’t stop firefighters and law enforcement from doing their jobs
They rushed in to help, knowing the danger
They always did
More than 400 gave their lives that day

I’ll never forget 9/11/2001.
Driving to work in Minneapolis, listening to KQ92 when the first ✈️ hit, they thought it was a small plane. Then the 2nd hit and we all knew it was terrorism.
Got to work, websites weren’t responding because they were overloaded.

Everyone was trying to figure out what was happening.
Someone wheeled a TV into the break room. We all huddled around it.
Then the first tower fell.
Horror. Disbelief.
The death and dust.
I couldn’t breathe.
We were at war.

A guy on the phone with the news anchor said he designed the twin towers.
Said up to a hundred thousand people could be in them if the tourists and workers were all there.
The Pentagon is hit.
War. War.
What’s happening? Who is attacking us and WHY?
