As TD said, it was the jumpers that I found the hardest to deal with... Images that will never go away.

I can see Canary Warf from my balcony and we are in the Heathrown and London City flight paths. When I went out that day to get something at the shop I felt so uncomfortable with the planes that were going over my head.
The real nightmare for me on the day was trying to get in contact with my sister. The phone lines were down from here to the States and my mom in the same state as my sister couldn't reach her either. She was going to school in the area where the plane in PA went down. I was able to get emails to my mom at the school where she teaches and somebody (maybe from GFY actually) managed to get through to my sister eventually. She had been on the road not to far from where the plane went down. She didn't see it but she heard about it on the radio and was really scared. It was just not knowing where was going to be attacked next. At one stage they had hit or had some contact with every major city in the Northeast except for Philly. So, I was bracing myself for that. Thank god it didn't happen.
