I was at work when a chemist from across the way came in and told us the news. I immediately called my mom and DH, who had pulled a U-turn on his way to work when the radio guys said the 2nd tower had been hit. I was on the phone with him when the plane hit the Pentagon (the Today Show was actually live with their Pentagon correspondent when it hit and he mentioned the boom/shake on TV). I remember the same guy coming in and telling us the first tower had fallen. We went up to break and they wheeled in TVs. We sat in complete silence and watched. I worked in a chemical plant that was surrounded by highise freeway bridges and police officers were stopped on the freeway where the road was feet away from the building, that scared me the most. I did no work that day, just kept listening for news. I watched the coverage for hours when I got home from work.
