September 11

I guess that it wouldn't be possible to not remember that yesterday it was the 10th anniversary of the attack on the Twin Towers in the United States. I suppose that anybody will remember what they were doing on that day. Even though you were far away the whole world seemed to stop to see history happening. I guess that the most shocking of all was the fact that the whole world could instantly see it happen as it happened. I can clearly remember getting home from school and finding my mom in front of the TV, staring at it without blinking. I asked her what had happened and when she told me I was also stuck there in front of the TV. At that stage only the first tower had been hit and we stayed there watching the whole of the rest of it. It was like a movie and during that time, once the attacks were finished, a feeling of concern start to appear. Concern about what was happening, why it was happening and would it become World War III.

I guess I’m not the only person who can remember that day even though I was far away from it. So where were you then?
