"I awoke feeling like it was real...that I had been in the middle of a real attack. I couldn't imagine what it would have been like to be in that situation for real." Dick Mulhern

I was in a trailer. A single wide trailer. It reminded me of the single wide that I lived in when I was in college. 

I was standing in the trailer talking to Liz about something when I looked out the window. On the right and I saw airplanes in the distance.. 

I kept talking and glanced back and noticed that the planes were getting closer and behind the planes that I had first noticed were more planes...

lots more planes. The skies were cloudy and filled with airplanes on my right.

Liz was sitting by a window on my left. 

I thought to myself, "This is strange...I need to mention all these planes to Liz." 

As I turned and looked at Liz I noticed over her shoulder were hundreds of planes, all different kinds, flying towards us. 

I quickly looked back to my left, the planes were almost directly over the trailer and then to my right and it was the same thing. 

I blurted out in a scared voice, "I hate to be the bearer of bad news but..." 

The thought occurred to me that I had not said the right thing. My comment seemed too casual for the seriousness of this situation but before I could say anything else the bombs began to drop and the trailer began to shake. 

I stood in the middle of the trailer with my hands spread out in both directions and I didn't know what to do. I thought, "Should I get out of the trailer?" "Should I stay in the trailer?" 

I didn't move. I just looked at Liz...then I woke up.

Go Back
