9-11

I was in a field, hitting baseballs when the planes struck the towers. I found out at 10:10 when I turned on 66 WFAN and Charles McCord was talking. What was Imus still doing on?

My wife and I had just moved to Northern New Jersey. Our town, Peapack, lost four people.

My grandfather watched the second plane hit. My sister was on the subway heading in when the train just stopped and the conductor announced they were reversing. Someone came on the intercom and said, 'Tell them what's happened.' The phonelines jammed up and for a couple of hours one actually risked a busy signal if you tried to dial a number.

Mrs. Stroock was in a meeting all day and didn't find out till 2 when she listened to her voice mail, 'Jen, where are you? The nation is under attack!'
