I was home with our first born, he was 4 1/2 years old. We were turning on the tv to watch some of his early morning tv shows, which weren't there, they were focused on the first tower being hit. My husband was working at JFK airport. He saw FBI running around with guns drawn as they were chasing some people on foot and in vehicles. Needless to say him and his work partner left the airport to head home. My one sister-in-law worked right across the street and was not allowed out of her building. She watched and heard people jumping out of the towers. I dont think anyone is the same after that day, whether you were right there or just watched it unfold on tv.
