I was woken up by my moms that morning, she called my apartment repeatedly until i woke up and when i picked up the phone she told me to turn on the TV. as soon as i did, i seen the 1st tower smoking and the way the helos were circling i was thinking "hmm. movie..." so i asked her "what , is this a movie ? when is it coming out..." she yelled NO!!! IT'S NOT A MOVIE THIS SHIT IS REAL!!!".

right then i watched and listened to the news long enough to hear "terrorist attack" then seen the second plane hit the second tower, i called my marine buddy, he confirmed what was going on and hung up on me. i called my dad grabbed my guns and called my then girlfriend and told her i was leaving the house and to meet me at dads. funny enough me and pops worked out a contingency plan (he's ex-army,i'm ex-navy) and we waited. that time was tense.
