Never forget the day. Was at work. Earlier that summer, 2 of my best friends worked with me (at Jack Links foods). They both left earlier that month to go to school. One of which was in the Army reserves. We started work at 6am, took our first break at 8am, and our lunch at 10am. We took our breaks in shifts.. so after the first group of people came back from the 8am break, I remember them talking, and one of them looked at me and told me to say goodbye to my friend in the reserves because NYC was just bombed. (was before the first plane was identified). I thought they were joking at first. But they were dead serious. We went on break and huddled around the radio. It was like a dream. Bad one.
The rest of the work day was a blur. Every break we had, more information was available.. Next break there was two PLANES that crashed in NYC.. The next break reports of the Phillidelphia crash and the Pentagon crash. I remember getting home around 4pm, showering and sitting in my living room (I lived alone at the time) watching the news. All night long.
I'll never forget the feeling of loneliness at that time. I was worried that I was going to lose my best friend at the time, and I was unsure of how long the attacks were going to happen.
Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!
