            <text>I remember semptember 11th like it was yesterday,i work for a major cinema chain in england and i couldn't belive how quiet it was for a day which normally would have been busy,i remember our administrator coming from her office and telling us a plane had hit the twin towers,upon hearing this i didn't feel much worry as i thought a fairly new structure would stay up and be evactuated with minimum loss i also thought this must have been an accident! How wrong i was.For some reason out of curisoty i think i took my break from work to watch the news, about ten mins in to my break i saw the second plane hit,my head spun and i immediatly felt sick taking a second look at the t.v to make sure i just seen what i thought i had just seen or that my imagination had run wild,all i could remember thinking was they wont fall they cant fall and just thinking whats next i felt like i was watching a scene from independence day after i found out about the pentagon and the 4th plane i just felt scared as where i work is a major shopping centre and very near manchester airport so whoever was behind this if england was also a target i would be in a very easy target.The funny thing is although i went on my break i never went back to work that day i just stayed in the staff room thinking i hope its ok i hope everyone got out in time(by this time both towers had fell)when i finished my shift i phoned an ex girlfriend just to see if she was ok and going home i remeber i being so eerily quiet like the whole poplation of england was somewhere else but where i was.i got on the bus on my way home and i was the only one on it quite a rarity at 5 oclock i just got home then and wacthed the news seeing how brave the emergency services was really made me think how strong the human will must be just to keep going against an impossible task,To finish i just want to say everyone in england is behind you and i give you all the love in the world i can't really say why i'm writing this so long after the event i just read some of the transcripts of the victims and it just made me feel helpless like i wish i could have helped in some or any way just to get the people out of the towers in time.</text>
