When I heard of the crash, I too was stunned! I was literally glued to
the television for a couple of hours. Even prior to the announcement of
Diana's death, I was so awstruck by the tragedy of the event that I
phoned my 2nd cousin, who is in Cheshire, England and woke her up at
about 4:30 am her time! Shortly after getting on the phone, the
announcement regarding Diana's condition was made on CNN. I heard the
news first, watching CNN and told my cousin before the UK TV stations
had made the announcement. She was so quiet and in shock. I then got off
the phone to let her rest a bit more. Later, my cousin Kay said that she
woke up an hour later and thought it must have been a terrible dream!
This kinda reminds me of the saying when President Kennedy was shot
"where were you when..." I know that I will remember.
