911DA Story: Story

A MAN IN THE ELEVATOR TOLD ME THE WTC HAD BEEN HIT BY A PLANE. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY OFFICE I INFORMED MY CO-WORKERS AND WE WATCHED THE UNBELIEVABLE HORROR UNFOLDING BEFORE OUR EYES. IT WAS SO SAD AND AS EACH SUCEEDING DAY APPROACHED IT WAS SADDER. I DIDN'T REALIZED THAT THERE WERE IMMIGRNTS IN THAT BUILDING THAT THEIR FAMILIES WERE AFRAID TO LAY CLAIM TO. I CRIED FOR THE LOSS AND REJOICED IN EVERY WONDEFUL STORY OF SURVIVAL. I CAN SEE THE PICTURES OVER AND OVER AGAIN BUT IT IS SO UNBELIEVEABLE IT IS LIKE A BAD DREAM. MAY GOD BLESS EVERYONE EFFECTED BY THIS SENSELESS TRADGEDY.
