Twenty years ago most of the world sat or stood transfixed to their TV screens, not quite believing what they were watching
I was eating my lunch at home (time zones being what they are), TV was on in the background...corner of my eye..."newsflash"
A friend of mine and his son came in the room...stood stock still...eyes wide.....we questioned, we couldn't grasp exactly what we were watching...a film...was it real...a cold shiver passed through each of us as it finally dawned on us that what we were seeing was real...it really was happening...live...on TV....
Those sights will never leave us....the feelings of horror...helplessness...confusion....
A close friend of mine lost his brother that day...a firefighter. He was sent into the Marriott and he never came home
Thousands of people went to work, shopping, school or on their holidays or boarded aircraft that day, just like any other day....they never came home, their loved ones never had that precious chance to say "goodbye", they have nothing but memories
To the people of New York, Shanksville and Washington...and to all those who lost their loved ones or suffered life changing and life limiting injury or illness from around the world that day....you will always be remembered, no matter what the future may hold, even moreso given recent events, you'll never be forgotten. The world must never forget or become so complacent ever again.
