====================================
PLEASE FORGIVE EDIT ERROR ON MY FIRST POST!

I was lying in bed listening to Minnesota Public Radio. *As soon as
the news broke there I ran into the other room to turn on the TV. My
daughter and two friends (all college freshmen) were watching some
movie before they left for class. I punched ABC and saw the first
video. Then we heard about the second plane.

I knew then that this was not an accident or an 'act of G-d' but that
someone had done this to us on purpose. I Sat down and cried.
