911DA Story: Story

Better to be hit by a truck than buried under rubble. I was hit by a car while crossing 86th Street. I left the city to recover. With injuries from head to toe I was sad about my life....until the World Trade Center fell. Then I felt blessed to have been saved. I worked at Ground Zero. The stress of seeing the towers fall would have killed me. As it was I lost many friends. My life has been renewed. I had a strong faith before Sept 11, now I know that God had other plans for me.
