I remember where I was exactly! I was loading up my work van like any other day, it was beautiful out and I had the sports station on and the guy on the radio told the caller "did you hear what I just said, a plane just hit the World Trade Center". My first reaction, said it out loud, "how in the hell did a little plane hit that big building!" I know it sounds weird but it was first reaction as they didn't say anything about what kind of plane it was at that moment.
I then headed out on my route and the 2nd plane hit, we were under attack and I wasn't sure what to do! Do I go home and get our kids out of school or what! I continued along and stopped at one of my stops and the guy said 'they've got tanks rolling through Dearborn!" I didn't believe that but I did have a stop there and saw nothing unusual. It wasn't until noon when I made a stop and saw a group of people standing around a little black and white TV when I actually saw it for the first time and I was stunned! A guy turned to me and said "is this your first time seeing it?", I said "yes!" and he said "it looks like a movie, doesn't?" I hated to admit it but it did, it really did and I knew right then and there our world would never ever be the same!
It was a long day and I couldn't wait to get home and be with my family. Talking with some neighbors in the middle of the street that evening we heard and then noticed a large, dark green plane with 4 engines on both sides flying NW, our guys were going somewhere, we knew it was on!
In closing thoughts and prayers go out to those who lost their lives that day as well as those who lost a loved one that day, God Bless America!
