I turned it on just in time to see the live feed of the plane hitting the South Tower. We (my mom and I) couldn't believe it, but we had to get to the hospital.

When we got there, the whole waiting room was watching on the TV. Then the hospital was locked down, no one allowed in or out.

It was a doubly bad day, because my son's bilirubin count had jumped to 21, so they ended up admitting him to the hospital, so I watched the rest of the drama from his hospital room.
