.
4. Seeing the people jumping out of the windows.

.
9. Standing in line at the flag store for 3 hours with 100 other people and NO ONE was bitching and moaning about standing in line for 3 hours.
.
10. Donating money and giving the firemen some McDonald's cookies when they were standing on the corner with their boots.

Oh I remember that! I worked in an area where we had the news and weather going constantly so we saw it as soon as it happened. It shattered my world.
I was at school when it happened I remember it was crazy day at school..and people were leaving school...and I was stuck at school until the end of the day.
I was in Japan that time and though so far away, I thought too, that it was the end of the world.
I remember wondering how such big buildings could be so fragile.
Such vivid memories...
i remember the phone call waking me up you yeling "are you ok are you ok? turn on the tv we've been attacked, wake up your dad"
I do hope nothing like that will ever happen again...
Here's my entry. Thanks!
