the interview of my 9/11 research paper

I work for Homeland Security. I was in DC on 9/11. There were a lot of people crying, screaming, yelling. I could like out of my window and see people running with their months over their hands. I really could not get a handle on what was going on as we were expected to be on alert. Once everyone in our building was accounted for they let us go for the day. We work 30 minutes from the trade center. My sister called me to tell me we had to find a way out of DC as buses trains subways were under heavy monitoring. She finally found a friend who was willing to take us but we had to hurry. As I was leaving I saw the faces of so many in disbelief more importantly in fear. Even with the confusion the city was very quiet, everyone sad. I kept thinking wow, how awful, and was thinking about changing jobs. For the next week no trains could get into DC, I called out the whole week. I feel badly for those we lost I also saw God work to pull people together to help one another, and a nation pull together to improve. After that there was even more pressure on our agency to fix broken processes. That day changed me, and those around me.
