“I was home baking and heard it on TV. I was glued to the TV and it was horrible. I saw the second plane hit. It makes you more suspicious of other people in the world, wondering if they are our friends or not.”

“I was starting a new job that very day in Maryland and saw it on TV. It was a tragic event and I think it has made a lot of people, me included, very anxious today at what can happen to us as Americans.”

“I was picking out my wedding ring and I heard the news in the store. I was devastated. It’s upsetting when you realize the people who died in the wars and the innocent victims in America and in other countries.”
