911DA Story: Story
I was sitting at work and was listening to the radio and tuned in on a channel that I thought was a joke at first and then as I stated to listen to it more and more I knew that something was wrong. I remember turning on the television and couldn't beveive what I was seeing! I though for a minute that I was dreaming, but this was no dream this was reality and this event that happen in nyc was real.
Sitting at my desk on the 40th floor of One Financial Center located in the financial district of Boston, I heard a page come over the intercom from the main security guard telling everyone to evacuate the building and also the city. That day was the worst day of the existing human life, I just couldn't comprehend that someone would take to aircrafts and decide to park them into two buildings that once stood 110 stories high and so many feet.
When I finally got a chance to sit in front of the tv and noticed that people were jumping out the windows and coming down the stairs on fire that something was going to happen more in a matter of minutes or even in a couple of hours.
When the towers came down faster than they went up it was a hole different scene and people were just panicing and pacing back and forth in different directions not knowing what was going to happen next.
When I was younger I remember my mother having a job interview in the south tower and riding the elevator to the (88) eighty eight floor and looking down and seeing the magnificent sights that were before my eyes and now that is just a day of reminising. I hope that someday they will re-build the towers and make them idiot proof.
One year later the same sight but no more buildings and no nice people that worked and served at the WTC...
Goodbless the men and woman that lost their lives and may you rest in peace.
