It was the radio

Eight years ago today, I listened to Peter Jennings narrate the 9/11 tragedy. I was on a business trip via car to Michigan and didn't actually see any images of the Twin Towers, Pentagon or Shanksville, Pa., until 7:30 that evening. I witnessed this tragedy through radio, which was still a heartbreaking experience. To hear his voice - and those of the other correspondents and people being interviewed - break with emotion was heartwrenching.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family and friends of those lost on that day.
