I transferred to Washington, D.C., a month later, and to see the Pentagon where Flight 77 crashed was a very surreal moment. We couldn't leave the base or call our loved ones outside of the base for hours, which was a very scary feeling having a wife at work and an infant at day care right outside the base and no clue what could be happening. Frightening experience and never felt further from those I loved in that moment watching the burning towers on our dorm room TV.Įric Harkins, Perry Township: Serving in the U.S. I will never forget returning to my classroom and looking at the innocent faces of my class and continue through the morning as if everything was fine, but inside, I was numb.Īdam Koehler, Perry Township: John Carroll University, freshman year, about two weeks into classes living on campus.
Our principal filled us in on the details of the towers and as a staff, we prayed for our country, the people in the towers and for strength to make it through our day. Kathy Madigan, Orrville: I was standing in front of my kindergarten class at Marshallville Elementary when an announcement was made for all teachers to report to the lower hall. Jody Dimit, North Canton: Working at Malone University. We thought it was an accident until we heard a second plane hit the tower as well.
When the news started coming in, it felt like the whole world was turned upside down.ĭon Robison, North Canton: I was at work, and a co-worker told us that a small plane had struck the World Trade Center. Kristy McGrew, New Philadelphia: I was living in Columbus and was at work that day.
