My name is José María Infanzón, i'm Argentinian. I was in a school exchange (with Poly Prep). On 9/11 we were supposed to be in the towers around 8:00 am, it was a vist to the towers. I was really anxious to visit them, i wanted to look the amazing city of NY from the sky. Around 7:30 am, we were ready to go in a school bus. But something was wrong, the bus didn't start its engine. we were late, and sad cause' maybe that day we were notgoing to be able to reach the towers. the bus driver kept trying to start the engine..but it was dead. suddenly the headmistress of the school came running and desperate, telling that something Terrible happened..as every one must know...9/11. I was so shocke, i had goosebumps, my brain was freezed, i was kind of lost, away from my family in a foreign country, it was the most weird sensation i've ever felt..i think GOD helped us that day and didn't let the bus start the engine..
