The morning of September 11, 2001 two commercial jet
airplanes were hijacked and flown directly into the two
World Trade Center Towers in Manhattan, New York,
causing them both to collapse.

I
watched in horror and disbelief as thousands of innocent
people lost their lives and two magnificent buildings disintegrated
into nothingness. |
|
Even though
I saw the first tower come down, I still hoped somehow that the other
one would not. That it would survive. That the people would survive.
That hope would survive. That the other tower's collapse was just a huge
unfortunate mistake and that the remaining tower would stand tall above
the wreckage to show our strength and determination to survive and
persevere such a horrific attack on humanity. But soon the second tower
began to collapse into a firework of debris and dust. I closed my eyes
and said a prayer for those who weren't able to escape and their
families. |
