I am a Malaysian, aged 33. I was away on business that day and stayed at a hotel. After returning from dinner about 10pm, Sept 11 , I was horrified when watching Fox news showing one of the towers collapsing. To my experience, its a first on TV for me. I also managed to witness several times the plane crashing into the building and quickly called my wife who was in Beijing asking is she is ok. I was sad to see, people trapped and some trying to jump off the building to save their life. Not knowing, it was actually a live telecast from CNN as well. Quite shocking and also it was cruel of the terrorist to do such things to humans. I was also sad to note that one of my American colleagues working on a project in that building, somehow got trapped and died. Innocent Indian national trying to make a living, died in the hands of terrorists.

Security and safety of my family comes first. I am pretty worried even when I travel, asking my management to review my work scope so that I won't need to fly much in the region.

The people who tried to survive!
