I know. I still think about it every time I walk the streets of Manhattan and the only thing I experienced was seeing the second plane hit the building thru my window and the buildings collapse and the fear and evacuation of my building and all of Manhattan right after. But Nothing can compare to what she experienced.

Wow, that is no small thing! It must have been so shocking that you were witnessing that.

My husband and I were on a runway in Texas waiting for clearance for a flight to Canada. They announced we were turning back & that an airliner hit the WTC. I told my husband before we got off the plane it was OBL. I had just read about him in Reader's Digest of all places. We got inside the airport in time to see the other plane hit. And then the collapse of the buildings. People weren't talking. Just looking at the images, totally stunned.

The 130 mile drive home listening to it all unfold on the radio reminded me of 'War of the Worlds'. My kids were calling me on my cell to make sure we were okay. As surreal as it was, I know it does not compare to what you witnessed. I'm sure we will all be reliving it this September 11, but I'll bet you relive it often.
