Mrs. Sotirakopoulos

I was working in Boston on Sept 11, 2001. I remember the owner of our company coming into our work area and told us to evacuate. We were a 24/7 business, and we never closed, so I knew something serious had happened. My coworker's mother worked at the Pentagon, I'll never forget the expression on his face that day when he heard the Pentagon had been hit. The subway was closed, so I had to get a ride home. All the streets in downtown Boston were clogged with traffic. The cell phone lines were jammed so I could not reach my family to check on them. My brother works in the Sears tower in Chicago and I was so worried that they would be hit next. I remember that planes didn't fly for weeks after the attack. It was a very scary time to be living in America.
