Where were you on 9-11-01?

‎9-11-01: What were you doing 10 years ago on that Tuesday? I was on my way to a work trainning (still part time with the City of Mesa, AZ), driving on the US60 west bound, and everything was, in slow motion. I could tell something was different or wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it. The cars were slow but steady (not in any hurry, but going and not 'backed up' like they usually were) and whatever was on the radio was not making any sense.
I listened to 92.3 at the time. And have NEVER listened to them since (based on their coverage of that day). Then my mom used my cell phone for the first time, to call me and told me what was happening (back when cell phones weren't 'big' to me). My husband was working graves, so he was still asleep and had no idea what was going on either. My first fear was he would be called to go somewhere that would be dangerous. I finished training, as everyone in the class agreed to continue...true American fashion...then returned home and watched TV for the next 48 hours.

I cried the most for the people in the planes. By then we had heard the 'cell phone calls' and we knew that the people on the plane knew they had been hijacked. So I just kept thinking how fearful those people were, knowing they were going to die. And then I was sad for the families of people who searched in vain for WEEKS for bodies that didn't exist! They had no one to bury, no body to identify...just mad me sad. God bless American!

Since then by the way, I have gotten Satellite Radio and listened to Howard Sterns coverage of that day, (I think it was the one year anniversary tribute), and I have listened to him ever since! No one does radio like him.
