Tempe High School Class of 1969 - What were you doing on 9/11

Body:
I was driving to work in Virginia and had the radio on. It reminded me of the day when the space shuttle Challenger blew up because I heard the first report of that on the radio driving to work and in both cases the announcers were just sort of confused as to what they were seeing and hearing at first. All I heard was that there was a fire in the World Trade Center, but when I got to the office I found someone had a TV on. I started to freak because my daughter worked in New York for a Wall Street firm. Just then she called me, though, to ask if I had seen and heard the reports. Thank goodness she did, because soon the phone lines became overloaded and we wouldn't have heard from her again for days. As people arrived at the office, we were increasingly glued to the television, and the biggest shock was when we heard that the Pentagon had been hit, just a few miles away from us. The rumors started to fly that there would be more targets in Washington, so we closed down the office and went home. My daughter slept on a friend's sofa in Manhattan that night and walked back to her apartment in Brooklyn the next day. After that, she couldn't wait to find a new job and get out of the city.
