            <text>My account for that day, was absolutely shocking. I was at school at the time I heard what happened and at first I thought it couldn't be real, but when I got home and turned the TV on it was real enough. The next thing that went through my head then is was my Uncle ok. He Lives in New York and frequently goes in and out of the twin towers of the World Trade Centre. Thankfully though he wasn't involved but a friend of his lost some of his friends in the twin towers. History that day was witnessed by me as a day that will always be remembered in my heart.</text>
