On September 11th, I was off from work sick and was sitting on the couch in my living room looking at the Maury Show on tv, then there was this "Special Report". At first it was reported that there had been an accident at the World Trade Center, maybe a helicopter or a small plane had accidently hit one of the towers. As I continued to watch the Towers and the people hanging out of the windows waving for help, then, I noticed this plane flying rather low and I thought to myself that plane is flying too low for a city with towering buildings. Then I saw what that plane did. I remember refocusing my eyes and searching my memory to see if what just occurred really happened. Then the replay. I knew it was no accident. I felt the horror, the pain, and all those souls crying out. I was confused and my chest started hurting and there was this big lump in my throat. I stood up and looked at the tv as if it were something vial. I asked God, what are these people doing? I walked and paced and wrung my hands. I cried so hard and I asked God to make this stop. I kept thinking over and over these people don't deserve this. How could someone be so evil to think of doing something like this. I asked the Lord to hold those dear people in His Holy Arms. The sounds, I'll never forget those sounds and the dust.
