911DA Story: Story
My wife was due to give birth September 11, it was rainy here in the Philippines then. While preparing things we would be needing for our stay at the hospital, I turned the tv on to catch the latest news. To my shock I was watching the aftermath of the first plane hit. Woke up my wife and witnessed the second plane crash. It was so unreal!!!
I remember asking my wife "is this for real?". It was like a scene cut from the Independence Day movie. Being an "spy and military buff" myself, I was already theorizing. This is no coincidence...America is being hit from different directions simultaneously. That made me and my wife fear for my coming baby boy. We were expecting the worst.
