Message: [QUOTE="traitor71, post: 3268950, member: 127"] I was working on a telephone system at a VA facility in Pembroke Pines, Fl. I remember going out to my truck and seeing everyone around the TV watching the coverage of the first impact. Like a lot of people, I thought to myself that I was surprised a plane had never crashed into a building like this before. I went back to work and not long after, one of the building engineers came in and informed me of the second impact, saying that the country was under attack. It seemed like the world was absolutely crazy at that point. Every person with a backpack, every broken down car, every truck that was parked somewhere too long started to seem like it could be part of some bombing. Rumors were everywhere, and it didn't seem like anywhere was safe. I just remember the tremendous sadness, frustration, and anger that everyone was feeling. What a terrible time that was. One thing that often gets overlooked is that about a week later, we started seeing the anthrax scare throughout the country, and that just added to the feelings of uncertainty as to whether we could ever really feel safe again or not. It really did feel like we were being attacked on all fronts. [/QUOTE]
