Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11th 2001 began for me like a boring but normal day, because it was raining a lot here in Brazil and I had to go to school. Then I arrived school, and at class I started talking with my friends (as I do everyday). Then we had a break at 9.30 a.m. (8.30 a.m. in NY). We came back to the class... Then, the time passed... and passed... At 11.30 a.m. (10.30 a.m. in NY), one of my friends asked to go to the toilet downstairs. When he arrived, he was pale!!! We didn't understand what was going on with him, then we asked what was happening, and he said: "I saw on the news downstairs that NY suffered a big attack. He was nervous and scaried. Then, everyone got downstairs, and we saw on TV one of the towers in fire (at this time, one of the towers had already collapsed, but the TV was just repeating the images). I didn't believe that, because I love NYC although I've never been there! It was raining a lot, and me and my friends went home... When I arrived home, I can still remember perfectly, I saw the second plane hitting the other tower. Then I said to my mother: What's happening? And she said: NY is under attack!! I went to my bedroom to see that horrible images, and I can say I cried because of that!!! It was 12.30 a.m. in Brazil and I still couldn't believe in that scene! I saw people running on the streets to escape of the dusts, I saw people jumping by the windows. All of these scenes made me cry an scream at the same time!!! I slept for some hours and when I woke up, I watched the same scenes I did before sleep... A famous journal put an especial edition about this attack in the afternoon (a thing that i've never seen before!!!) At night I just saw the dust covering Manhattan... Then I asked to myself: Where are the towers? I can't see them!! Course I couldn't, because they were already on the ground!!! I never had a day like that until today!!! Nowadays, I still think about the attacks in the WTC towers, I have more than 350 pictures of that, because I love NYC, and sometimes I pray for all who died there!!! I hope do not pass for days like that never more! I was not in NY, but I felt horrible just watching this! And I think today NY should rebuild the capitalism symbol(WTC), to show for all the people that NY's stronger than ever!
