Reply #36: I was at work and had just walked in from a smoke break [View All]

My engineering supervisor told me a plane had hit the tower and our controller had it on a little radio. I walked into his office to hear right before they announced the second plane. About a half an hour earlier I had read an article on the internet about them evacuating Americans from Japan because there were major threats of terrorist attacks.

I set the TV up in our conference room and we all watched. I mumbled something about our government knowing about this and I got some evil looking glances. I went back to my desk to print out the article I had read that morning and it was gone. I looked for it for a while and couldn't find it.

Most of the day was a blur, I felt sick to my stomach and didn't even want to think about what was coming next. It was a horrible day. I do remember driving home after work, it all seemed to be in slow motion. I had no one to go home to so I just got myself drunk and watched TV all night.
