A former classmate of mine was killed in the towers that day. I was shocked when I heard and so sad for her.
I think about her sometimes.
A relative of someone I worked with who was a firefighter was also killed. I had just seen him a few days before.
I turned on the radio and heard a news broadcaster talking about the attack, speculating if it was an accident or terror. All of a sudden, she began shrieking and screaming. I couldn’t see what happened, but I was shaken to the bone hearing her scream like that. I knew something terrible had happened. It was right when the first tower fell.
