Was on the way to Columbus OH for a food show. Stopped in Dayton to pick up tickets l won at a radio station. Heard of the first tower being hit while in the lobby. Got in the car and the wife and l listened to the news. Never dreamed it was intentional. The second one was hit and we knew something was up. The food show tried to continue but was eerie. Tried to call our baby sitter and phones were jammed and couldnt get through. Some vendors had tvs on and l watched in horror as the towers fell. Decided it was time to leave amd get our kids. The drive home was very strange. Stopped to get gas and the price had went nuts. Luckily l got by with just a few gallons. Around Springfield 70 east and west come to a stop. This lasted close to an hour. Saw fighter jets overhead and figured they headed to Wright Patterson. After a few more minutes we saw Airforce One take off. This was at an airport near Springfield. Traffic finally started moving and we went and got our kids. Really strange/scary day. Found out later Columbus was a possible target.
