    I remember this day as if it was yesterday. I was a sophomore in high school, about three blocks away from the impact zone. I remember leaving school that day looking to my left which look like a woman however he or she was going so fast that I couldn’t tell as she was falling down the building. The body had impacted and imploded on the top of a vehicle. I remember closing my eyes and in utter shock continuing my way back home. When all of a sudden the ground beneath me began to rumble, not knowing where that was coming from until I turned around and saw the World trade Center south tower falling. That day will forever be in my soul, the people lost on that day including my cousin fire fighter Bobby Foti Will forever be in my heart. Hours after the incident had occurred we were allowing complete strangers into our home so that they can wash all the debris and dust off their body and clothes. This is a fraction of my story on that day and I can’t believe it’s been 20 years already. God bless all the lives taken on that day, as well as the the soldiers whom fought in the war that followed this horrific day. God bless all humans and we need to remember we are on this planet 🌎 together and should spread love and not hate. 😔

This is a moving video that shows a portion of the damage done to the city's infrastructure that most Americans could never imagine. Just incredible...

    I live in the lovely Scottish borders in Scotland. On the 9th of September 2001 I was so busy organising my wedding which was happening the next month on the 6th. My almost mother in law phoned me so upset. She said 'have you seen the news. A plane has crashed into a building in new york'! She was someone who got upset quickly with everything on the news so I told her 'dont worry. Everything is fine' , I reckoned she'd maybe half heard a story on the news and overthought it. But I put on the news anyways and saw the replays of what had happened. I kept watching the news constantly even when it was replays, I couldn't take it in. I felt like it couldn't be real, that it was like a movie, my mind wouldn't let me accept that it was real. I decided, I need to cancel the wedding. The thought of me organising something as beautiful as a wedding when this horrible thing had happened and people were desperately trying to find their loved ones, it felt wrong. Very wrong. My family forced me to go to the doctor, which I'm thankful they did, and I spoke to a lovely doctor who told me it was ok to get married. That it was ok to be happy. I'll never forget that feeling I had though. They (whoever they are) say that you never forget where you were and it's true.
