I felt driven, focused,confused, and searching at varying degrees all through that day. It was weird and I couldn't tear myself away from the news.

I was still shocked the next day. I was working down town by some Oil Refineries and they went on a very strict security alert so the whole area was stressed you couldn't go near the place even to get to a different company. I was however driven and focused to help with the rescue workers through donations to my church (like bottled water, and snacks) I couldn't go there personally to ground zero, but wanted to help. My patriotism definitely was woken because I was amazed about all the events of the prior day. People were just so close back then, so opposite from today.

I was in total shock that day.Confused ?YES. And wondering what the heck happened. I was in Lincoln, Illinois with hubby in a 18 wheeler and while he drove I sat there on the bed watching tv and saw the 2nd tower hit. I cried so hard for all those innocent people and was in shock for days and days afterwards. I was searching for an answer but none came. I guess revenge.

I wwas veryscared and confused. I had never seen anything like that in my life. I was so confused that my political values changed for a few weeks. I turned into a Bush loving, Hummer driving, War wanting, Crazy person. I was devoid of thought. i only wwanted revenge. Then I started to have questions about 9/11. They were never answered. So, I became focused and driven on getting those questions answered.

I was in denial, I suppose. I had a 4 year old son and I pretty much focused on keeping him from being exposed to it.
I grieved about our loss, and the loss of the families. I grew angry with the media for what I call exploiting the victims, by showing them in their most vulnerable moments.
I wanted the government to take action, so the world would be safe again.

Confused, scared, unsure...
On 9/11, after I got to school, I kept looking over my shoulder, out the window in each of my classes, just watching the sky. I live on the west coast, and my city only has 145,000 people (certainly not a target) but I was still doing it, still concerned about what could happen next.
And I wasn't the only one.

I was angry and then had to get focused. I had spent quite a bit of time in the WTC area and the collapse had disrupted my company's business. I had to work to get things back working.
I flew to NYC in early nov of that year. Talk about a pain. Most of battery park area was shut down. The area smelled horribly.

Yes to all of the above. I was wondering how and where my brother and father were and would be as they are both in crucial jobs in the military. I wanted to go to the recruiter right away and seek vengence. I, like most of America, was in awe to the disastrous tragedy that occured on our turf to an "untouchable" nation.

As a student of history, current events, and our foreign policy, I felt surprised that nothing like that had happened before. (If you don't count the Oklahoma City abberation.)
