... (I work at home).

The phone rang and it was my son calling from his office.

"Turn on CNN" , he said. The tone of his voice was so strange that all I said was "OK", and I hung up.

CNN was showing the towers in flames and I truly can't remember now if I saw the second plane hit, or whether all I saw was the endless replays.

All I can remember thinking at the time was "please let people go UP to the roof! Please let helicopters rescue them!"

Then I heard Aaron Brown say "it looks like the tower is buckling" and no sooner than he said that than the first tower fell.

After that, memories are muddled. I sat and smoked too many cigarettes, and cried.
