We were sleeping. The only day off for DH during the week [he usually interned on Tuesdays but wasn't for some reason]. My sister called and woke us up sometime after the 2nd tower was hit. My thought was that 10s of 1000s would be dead before it was all over. It didn't take LONG for the towers to fall, but it was long enough for most people to get out. We watched the first one. We were in the car on the way to Lamaze for the second one. We'd heard our medium sized city was at risk because of the Federal Medical Prison here [the sheik guy from the first attacks was housed here at the time] and he'd recently been to the hospital where we were headed so it was supposedly a target as well.

We went to Lamaze where none of us could concentrate then came home and were glued to the TV again.
