I lived in Pennsylvania at the time, it is a day that I will never forget. It is so weird, I can remember being a kid and not having to worry about anything like terrorism, we were America and we were safe. And in an instant, that changed forever.
The thing I remember most is being woke up by the phone, it was my girlfriend at the time. She told me to turn on the TV and I asked her what channel, she said any channel, and I remember it being on EVERY single channel. I turned it on, saw the trade center on fire, and just figured it out that a plane hit it. Then within a minute of me turning it on the second plane hit, I was in total disbelief, a horrible feeling.
I sat there and listened and watched in horror as the buildings burned and I heard about the pentagon and reports of car bombs. I thought the towers would just sit and burn for a long time maybe leaving an empty burned out building, I never imagined they would fall, then the first one did.... Total shock. I sat there thinking that the other one wouldn't fall, but it did also, it was a gut wrenching feeling. Then I hear about the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. I did not feel safe at all, I didn't know if it would end.
To sum it up, I guess you could say, 5 years later and I am still pissed.
