I watched on A Computer screen, the image a a plane sticking out of the tower. My heart drop when the second plane hit. When the Towers crumbled to the ground, so did my world. Two days later, my company (an Environmental firm) was on site working with the debris clean up and monitoring. So i witnessed first hand the destruction that was there. I was upset by the site of the rubble, yet at the same time Prouder then ever to be an American and a New Yorker. To see the city that everyone considers to be rude and mean come together in a time of crisis. Even to this day when i see TV footage of the day it brings tears to my eyes...knowing that all those lives were lost. My heart goes out to all the families and friends of people who lost someone on that day.
