911DA Story: Story

I was at work in Bristol England, when I heard the tragic news about the twin towers, and I was in shock. I had just recently got engaged and was seperated from my fiance, he was back at school in Utah. I thought that people were joking with me, but when then second plane hit, I knew that they weren't. I was alone in the evening, still looking at live pictures from New York. My parents were on vacation in Spain, so I had my younger brother with me. I had to phone my finace and say that I might not be able to fly just over 2 weeks later. I was in shock for a few days, talking to my fiance every day for the next week, until my parents came home. I was crying all evening, and I couldn't stop myself. There were loads of news stories about english people working there, who were presumed dead. The images were on for at least 3 days after, all of the news reports would tell of people still being pulled out from the rubble alive. I am so glad that I wasn't in the area
