I was working a remodel of a big office building in downtown Huntsville. We had JB&B on the radio when they said something about a small plain hitting a building. Within minutes the real story started to break. Folks were crying on the sidewalks. Every store you went into had a TV on and the radio stations had coverage on ever channel. Flags went up everywhere and places were sold out of smaller TVs.
God Bless America

I got to my office that morning at 5:30 just like everyday. Went into the break room and put on the coffee and turned the TV on. Went out to the warehouse and was sending out crews for about an hour and a half. My wife called and asked me if I had seen or heard about what was happening. I said no so I went to the break room and everybody was in there watching it as it all unfolded. I was mad and sick to my stomach all at the same time. 9/11 was our Pearl Harbor. Being a young child during and having a family member fight in Vietnam plus the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, the USS Cole just a few things that come to mind the enemy had hit our country.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Driving down I-65 from Montgomery to Monroeville - got to the customer's site, and we canceled the meeting.

Had driven from Columbus to Opelika to the office, there I saw what was happening and drove back home and watched what was happening. The utter sadness and helplessness was over whelming.

I was at my office on aldeer when the posts about the planes hitting the world trade center started coming in. Several of us went to the meeting room and watch the tragedy unfold on TV. After that day the stockmarket tanked, Solutia stock went to nothing, and they laid a bunch of us off 6 weeks later. I thought it was the end of my world but then I thought about the sacrifices of all those in new York and the pentagon and Pennsylvania and their families.

Was heading to work when the first one hit. Then walked in the office in time to see the second one hit on TV.

Mr.Fosters 8th grade History class. They rolled the tv cart into our room and 5 minutes after turning on the tv, the second plane hit.
