I remember that day like it was yesterday.

I was at work in Dekalb, IL not far from Chicago. We had all heard about the first plane on the internet and I, like most people, were watching the news streaming live over the internet. I actually watched the 2nd plane hit the building as it was happening. It was one of the most terrifying things I have ever witnessed. Shortly after 2 fighter jets, flew overhead, heading towards Chicago to intercept the fourth plane, the one that crashed in Pennsylvania. We were all told to go home early that day.
