I was at work, at the time I worked for the Cdn Federal govt - so I was in our main govt building here and we were all gathered around the tv in a meeting room. Scary as hell, I honestly thought that it was "the big one" coming...we kept waiting for more & were scared to even go near the windows. Everytime we heard a plane we were sure we were next.
We had airplanes diverted to our airport here & kept thinking -what if one had a terrorist on it.
Very very scary.

I remember looking up at the sky that day and seeing no contrails at all, probably for the first time ever. It was the creepiest thing not to see airplanes in the sky & know why.

My husband was on his way to work & turned around to come back. He wanted to pick up the kids at school and take them home. We really thought that this was the beginning of the end.

The scariest and saddest day I've ever been through. I still get chills thinking about it, and can't believe it's been 4 yrs now. Some things stay with you forever.
