911DA Story: Story
I feel as if September 11th will always have its own special meaning to those of us who experienced watching everything as it happened in New York. The scenes that were repeatedly flashed across the television screen with every
news broadcast will always be imprinted into my mind. The expressions of the pedestrians who had been there in New York City as an actual eye witness to the event, had multiple meanings behind them. There were some of confusion, shock, horror, tears, misunderstanding and failure. There were many women and men who were able to save themselves, while there were far more who lost their
life in the struggle.
I think the after stories are what affected me the most. I comprehended everything that had happened but when personal stories were being broadcasted across all the magazines and newspapers, they explained the details that hit home to my heart. There were stories about weddings that were never going to come true, single mothers and fathers who were now left alone to raise their children. It's sad to think of all the lives which were lost,
yet it's even harder to accept the number of family members and friends that are affected by the lost of a loved one.
Although I was not in New York City at the time of this event, I feel like I have seen enough from the television to remember that day for the rest of my life and pass my experience onto my children.
