12. I was at home sick. I'll never forget the day.
My birthday was the day before and I'd gotten some sort of food poisoning or something. I had MSNBC on when they announced there had been an explosion in downtown Manhattan. All the news websites were inaccessible and so I immediately logged on to DU and that is where I watched the nightmare unfold. I glued to the site and cable news trying to find out info as my older sister had planned to attend a meeting in the 2nd WTC tower. It was literally the worst day of my life as I couldn't get through by cell or landline to any of my family in Manhattan.
