I working in Tampa Fl where we listened to the radio everyday. The first plane hit and the radio started talking about it. One of my coworkers kept saying it was an accident, then we heard the second plane had crashed. I informed him then that there were no accidents in this case and that we were basically under attack. We listened as the third plane hit the pentagon and the fourth crashed in Penn. I remember thinking that the United States just lost some of its arrogance. It was the first time I started to feel unsafe behind these borders. That was the biggest humbling experience of my life. I remember thinking that I no longer was worried about black or white or any other people I didn't like we were all Americans. I didn't get to see any of it on T.V. till later that night so the full effect didn't hit me till then. I remember the weirdest thing at the time was for days after there were no planes flying in the sky. One day I know I will never forget.
