Item 96899
How has your life changed because of what happened on september 11, 2001?
I skipped some classes that day, because it was such a beautiful afternoon in Sarajevo. I went to my friend's place. We had the usual afternoon coffee. She lived in Germany for a while, and used to watch German TV. Pro7 was on, and we were watching back then popular talk-show hosted by a black girl, I believe her name was Arabella or something like that. At some point, a video appeared in the lower right corner, showing a plane smashing into a skyscraper. I though to myself, I must see this movie, it looks so realistic. When the second plane hit the tower, I think a ticker in German appeared under the video. My friend said, this is not a movie.
