Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was a normal working day. Just after lunch our Group CEO was talking to his broker on the phone when he told us " The World Trade Centre has just been hit by a plane". We thought it was a terrible accident and rushed downstairs to check CNN.Sure enough, there it was, one of the towers of the World Trade Centre - burning. I couldn't believe it when I saw the second plane hit - the extent of the hatred and evil behind these acts was almost tangible. It was as if the whole world was holding its' breath. I watched people jumping from both towers, I watched the firefighters and emergency personnel enter the buildings and I watched as the towers fell. You couldn't cry - it was just surreal - thousands of humans being butchered, and for what. Throughout the next few days I prayed continually that they would pull out just one more person alive but every day the chances of that happening disappeared. I will never forget the events of 9/11 and I thinbk the world needs to remember - especially for all those people who lost their lives simply because they went to work. I made a little private vow - if I am ever in a situation like that I want to emulate those people who were on the flight that crashed in Philadelphia - "Lets Roll"! and put an end to cowering before international terrorism!
