| Twin Towers |
On 9-11-2001 ,
I was listening to CNN news at home when the breaking news came on about the
first tower being hit. I was stunned and
sat in shock watching the plane hit the tower.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
It seemed so unreal, and I just sat there and stared at the television. I felt like I was in a stupor. Finally, I ran
into the bedroom where my husband was watching television and told him to watch
the news.
I went back to my television on the big screen and kept
watching; still shocked. Then, a short time later, I saw the second tower
hit. It finally hit me when the towers
came down; this is really happening. A
short while later, there was news of the pentagon being hit, and then a plane
in rural Pennsylvania

| Flight 93 in rural Pennsylvania |
By the third day, I was becoming angry. I paced up and down in front of the TV
ranting and marched into the bedroom to rant some more to my husband. I was so pissed that this had happened in our
country. I wanted to reciprocate what
they did to us even though it doesn't make sense to lower ourselves to their
level. Yes, I was that mad.
Today, I'm still angry, especially, as I see Americans being
beheaded by these fanatics. Religious
wars go thousands of years back, and they have always been barbaric. I hope we can get through this period in
history and still retain our humanity.
Here are a couple of sites to visit if you want to know more
about 9/11. http://time.com/3304315/september-11-articles/

Leave me a comment about how you heard the news of 9/11 and
how it made you feel. Have a great week,
and I'll see you next Sunday.
