I was sound asleep when the first plane hit. My mother called and woke me up, sobbing and crying, "We're under attack!" I ran into the living room in a panic, where my girlfriend (Now my wife) was watching Gameshow Network, completely oblivious about what I thought was the world coming to an end. I snatched the remote out of her hand and turned on any channel but GSN in time to see the second plane hit, and she immediately started sobbing.
It's kind of amusing now to think about her watching "The Match Game," blissfully unaware of the hell that was going on. But there's definitely nothing else even close to funny when I think about 9/11. God bless all who were lost, all of their loved ones left behind, and God bless the United States of America.
