Dan,

I was on my way back from town 5 miles away in old truck when the news said at about 9:15 a.m. " a plane just crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City." I just figured it was pilot error and went out chuck hunting.

Later, after noon, the news on TV was in frantic mode!

Was on call for the hosptial, so I got up (didnt have to go in that day) and got dressed and turned on the TV to see that a plane had flown into the one tower of the world trade center. Went to the grocery store to run an errand for my wife and heard from someone in line at the checkout that a plane had crashed into the pentagon.....I said no, it was the world trade center. Another person in line said it was two planes that crashed into the world trade center.
Went home and turned on the tv to hear about the pentagon crash and the second world trade center tower. Then they broke into the news about a possible plane crash in a field in PA........the talking heads on TV were talking about terrorism from time to time, but my first thoughts were that it was some type of catastrophic air navigation failure (something like a Y2K phenomena we were all taught to worry about)....
My wife called to tell me that my daughters school was in lockdown (she was in 5th grade at the time), and I pulled out he bug out bag, M1A, some pistols and the shotguns. Made sure we had plenty of gas in the truck (I had just filled up). Then the news events of what was really going on started to filter in. I grew more concerned when I learned it was middle eastern terrorism (I live approx. 20 minutes from Dearborn, MI....largest concentration of arab population outside the middle east).
Saddest thing I take away from 9/11 is the video on the news of 'arab americans' in this country and abroad cheering what had just happened.....apparently, those tapes must have been accidently erased, because none of the local news stations seem to have them anymore.

I also remember not one single Imam, in this country or abroad, coming out and condemning the attacks of 9/11....to me, that speaks volumes of this 'religion of peace' that Islam is supposed to be.
