I live in the Philippines, on that evening i was watching Tv after i came home from work i happened to pass by CNN and the first thing that i saw was a live coverage of what appeared to be a fire on one of the towers of the WTC. The reporter said that there had been an accident and a plane crashed into the building. I was shocked with what I saw, I would have never imagined that airplane could ever crash in to a building. As moments passed and the reporters countinued talking about the event, the screen was showing a long shot of WTC taken from an elevated area and as they were taking a second plane appeared into view and fast approaching the second building and surely enough it crashed into it. My body felt cold. I could hardly breathe. "That was not an accident", I said to myself "Something is terribly wrong here..." It was numbing, i was facing the television and I could hardly process what was going on....two planes crashing...I asked myself "why?" tears just fell.

During those moments i somehow just felt defeated. I forgot the distance all I felt the loss of human lives how could those left behind be able to face the next day?

Yes it made me realize that hatred is our worst enemy.

The thousands of innocent lives that were lost.
