I was at home fixing to leave to go to my office. My wife was watching the news and yelled, "Oh my gosh, come in here and look". I spent the next few hours watching TV. After that I called all my employees that were in town and we all met at my office near Love Field airport. I went to a flag store and bought about 500 United States Flags and we all stood at major intersections passing out flags. We then went into our neighborhoods and placed flags in all the yards in our neighborhoods.  Honestly, I didn't know what else to do.
I do enjoy a good Squirt now and then.

I was at work in Plano. We heard about the first plane crash and everyone was watching the news when we actually saw the 2nd plane crash first hand on TV. It was an somber quiet day at work.

I was fixing to take Mom to the airport and we saw it on TV. we called and they canceled the flight. Later that afternoon. It was weird when i went out side and there wasn't a plane in the sky that evening and for the next several days. Really quiet in the air .

I was standing in the kitchen fixing breakfast for my 2 kids before they went off to school that morning watching it on TV. I thought the same thing at first Terry, how could that pilot make such an error. Then the second one hit.Im getting goose bumps just thinking about it.

One good thing about fishing, every time we go out to fish there is always the hope that it could be one of those memory maker trips! Thanks to everyone who read and responded to this thread!
