The Ultimate Drama?

Question

Let's not forget that six years ago today the ultimate drama was played out for all the world to watch - 9-11. May people perished, so let's remember them with honor, dignity and pride. Share your memories. We all know where we were.

Answer 1

I was studying for my Matric (South African equivalent of the final year of school) Chemistry final examination, when my mother came into my room and told me she just heard over the radio that a Boeing has flown into the World Trade Centre in New York.

I thought my mother had lost the plot and told her if this was the case, then surely it would be on CNN. So we went to the lounge and switched on the tv and lo and behold, images of the airplane flying into the towers.

I was completely shocked and felt like I was watching some overrated action movie or something. Needless to say, I did not get back to studying that day and spent the whole afternoon and evening watching CNN! Luckily I still passed the exams!

Sheesh! 6 years ago already - scary how time flies!

And yes, my thought are today, as six years ago, with the families of those whom perished in the carnage of 9/11.
