How has your life changed because of what happened on September 11, 2001?
i am a portuguese girl and
i was only six at the time of the attack and my parents were divorcing;
the 11/9/2001 had started normally, had arranged lunch at the house of my grandmother along with my mother and my sister, everything seemed normal.
But when around 12:23 (time in Portugal, +5 than in the U.S.A), I was greeted with the news program live from new york, a plane had crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
My eyes could not believe what they were seeing, I was petrified with all those people jumping from the towers.
I can not imagine the worst sensation, having to choose between jumping (knowing that I would die), or stay and burn to death or die under the rubble of the towers.
Even living in Portugal, where I was at home lying in my bed at night, when I heard the sound of an airplane I was crying in fear that he pounded the house.
I know that the life of the American people was the most lost, but it was not the only, many other countries in the world have the same desire to combat all these suicide bombers who are still out there to end the lives of countless innocent people.
my wishes for a great happiness for all the families who were physically incomplete (your children, parents, brothers, cousins, uncles and friends are always with you, not in body, but in spirit.
