It's been called off thankfully. Everyone from the President to the Pope was telling him not to go through with it and he finally listened.
A horrible day. I'll never forget it.
I live on Long Island, and I was out running errands when all the events took place and I remember starting to hear weird things at the places I went like "the courthouse was evacuated", "the schools are talking about closing". "there's smoke behind the White House". I finally got home and asked my husband "what is going on?" and then I saw.
We didn't lose anyone close to us, but knew several people that did including one of my son's teachers who lost her husband. The schools were told not to tell any of the students what was going on while they were still in class, but a lot of parents picked up their children from school in a total panic so by the time my children got home they knew something really bad must have happened.
Deepest sympathies to those that lost loved ones that day.
