The tragic event that touched the world. Everybody, everyone was shocked and could not believe that such a thing could actually happen in real life, let alone to the most strong, most rich, most dynamic nation, US of A. The American people changed their views on life after this tragedy, they realized that they are vulnerable, that they are not invincible. This gave them the lesson in life that they'll never forget, which is that they are humans after all, for me this is a good realization for the Americans. It is just sad that this event has to happen for them to realize that they are not always on top and that they are not always powerful.
I can not forget the night of Sept.11, 2001 (well, it was nighttime here when 9-11 occurred), i was watching our local evening news here (The World Tonight), when the anchor woman cut short her report and said " Breaking News................a plane had hit one of the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York............" after hearing that i immediately changed the channel to CNN, and there i saw the vision which i won't forget as long as i live. The two towers were already on fire, people were crying, running everywhere, reporters while on the middle of their coverage felt shocked and dismayed on what just happened. No one knows what to do, no one knows if they were safe or if their country was being attacked. Tension and confusion was everywhere. It was like watching a movie, i felt that this could not be happening, i am just watching a movie, this is just a dream, i said to myself over and over again. But its not.....................
This coming Thursday it will be the 7th anniversary of that tragic event, even though the American people have been slowly recovering, still the hurt is there. It's sad to relive this moment but it is carved in our hearts and minds already. The whole world was affected by this event, it is part of not just the American history but it is now part of World History. This is my short tribute to the people who lost their lives during this horrific occurrence and to their families who up to now i know still are grieving for their loss. All of us will continue to fight these terroristic acts, all of us should fight hand in hand.
