Seven Years....

I was headed to the vet with my fat dog and heard the first report on radio. When I got to the vet, they had the TV on, at first, I couldn't believe the devastation. I'll never forget the fire fighters, police, and emergency medical people going into certain death. I've often wondered if I could have done the same.
 
My teachers also refused to tell us what was going on, because one of my classmates father was in the Towers. The first i heard of it was "The Twin Towers fell and there's war!" I thought we were facing an actual country at war and thought to myself "Duck and cover."
 
I thought the most interesting part of it was how the newspeople had absolutely no idea what was going on and were clearly panicked. They seemed to be trying to make the first hit out as a small plane, no bigger than a Beechcraft or a large Cessna. Kind of seemed a little askew judging by the large fiercely burning hole in the side of the building.
