I was living in california at the time- I got a call early in the morning- I was groggy- I was notified that 2 planes had flown into the world towers. I knew immediately we were under attack. I turned on the TV and watched the horror unfold- I clearly remember watching a shot of the top of the first tower to go down and seeing it start to slide down off the screen- For a split second I thought the camera was panning up... then I realized what was happening...

When it was all over I rode my bike into work dazed- only to be told that Sandia natl lab was shut down until further notice...

I went back home to watch the aftermath... A miserable day...
