It was strange looking up in the sky and seeing no planes. I was to go to Florida on business but all flights were cancelled. The Oklahoma bombing didn’t really affect me..this has. Of course, 136 dead is nothing compared to what happened today. Also, it really hit home for me: I was so terribly worried about my 3 cousins in the city. Fortunately, they are all fine…well, that is what my aunt told me this afternoon. What I keep thinking about is how so many people suffered– the utmost terror that they experienced…. I can’t even begin to imagine. I don’t want to imagine.

I can’t believe what happened, it is just so unreal. My head is still spinning. I have no idea what to make of it all. Life as we know it has changed, changed forever. There will definately be retribution. War. Ugh! Yet, I feel better knowing Bush is in office.
