9/11 - I received a phone call at about 1:30am, didn't get to the phone in time but there was a message from a friend that sounded freaky.. asking me to pick up. I was certain that she was in the middle of a personal seige, someone had broken in and she was hiding.. calling for help (ok, stupid she would have called the police, not me.. but that was the urgency I heard..) so, worried I headed over to her house. When she opened the door, she showed me the news.. she was watching CNN(?). I sat and just looked in horror (this was before the collapse). I was there just after the second plane.. it was amazing at how surreal it seemed.. I had to keep reminding myself that 'this was real' and it was huge.. I was as horrified as I was glued. I didn't think it could get any worse. I shed tears when the towers collapsed.
Diana's death had a big impact on me, but nothing I can imagine will have a bigger impact than 9/11... I hope to never witness anything that compares let alone something bigger!
