Hi, My name is Andrew Beck, I live in a city in Northern England. I was at work in a pub when a regular customer walked in shouting turn on the tv, so i tuned in to BBC1 and saw the most horrific site! The 2nd plane was just hitting the WTC, myself and the other customers in the pub were just staring in horror as the news unfolded. We all were in extreme shock, as the pub emptied there was myself and 1 other customer just sat watching the tv, we saw people jumping out of windows, replays of the planes hitting the centre and then the tower collapse! Who was responsible? This can't be an accident.
The following days after the attacks, the newspaper was full of the pictures and stories, we even put an American flag up in remeberence and held the 2 minutes silence.
All I can say is our hearts go out to all those who lost somebody that day and we will never forget.
Take Care of yourselves and we'll get that bastard!

(Andrew Beck, 19, England)
