From Austin, TX

to NYC

Needless to say, I am running late again...it is already 7:48 am!

I should have skipped that second cup of coffee...ugghh

Nevertheless, I carry on while the morning news continues, but...

Everything stops...just stops when I hear the News and see the smoke

Oh, my God! Oh, my God...how did this "accident" occur???

Nobody on that plane is going to survive that...or the people inside, either!

Every fiber of my body begins to pray for all of them and their families.

Oh, forget work...I am glued to the tv now...time has just taken a backseat.

NOT AGAIN! No!!! How? Why? I see it happening: 8:03am in Austin.

Everybody now knows, it is not an accident, though...

(It only took two minutes to air from the time of the attack)
