NMAH Story: Story

I went to new york on september the 10th with my family on a holiday from Scotland (where i live) i was only bout 15. We planned to go the twin towers on september the 11th later in the day. Then cors it happend. We went back to our hotel and watched everything happen.It was weird to think this was happening just a mile or so away.Now years on i keep thinking what if it happend hours later? If i was there could i have possibly saved someone who is now dead? Did someone die in my place that i never knew? Theres a part of me that was glad i wasn't in the towers that day.But theres a part of me that wishes i was. We went back to new york in october that year an actually saw the devistation. This is my story of what happend to me that day i have told people and tryed to explain my feelings but i dont think they understand they would of had to of been there.
