I was in the recovery room in a hospital after a minor procedure and remember coming out of my drugged fog with the nurse saying that one of the Twin Towers had been hit by a plane and they thought something happened at the Pentagon as well. I was released, came home and spent the day on the couch watching the horror happen. We got home just in time to see the second tower come down. Then the eerie silence with no planes passing overhead. Little traffic. Being so close, many people from my area went to help. Not a day I'll ever forget.
