I find that Beller's description of the September 11Th tragedy was appropriate. He was in the belly of the beast (as some people would call it) when it all went down. They way that he described in day detail the events on that day, made you feel as though you were right there as well. Just like any major war or tragedy, i think that everyone remember where they were, what they ate, their feelings and emotions, and the panic of that day.
Even though it happen in New York, they pain and fear of being attacked by terrorist hit well beyond the borders. I can remember i was work when i first heard the news and i didn't know what to think. I went to the cafeteria to get a soda and noticed that everyone was staring at the TV. At first i thought that they were watching Jerry Springer or something like that. But when i turned from the soda machine, All i saw was a cloud of gray smoke coming from a building. They told me that a plane hit a building, and that the pilot must have lost control or something. But when the second plane was shot and viewed by the public, it seemed be more than what we bargained for. The news said something about another plane had been taken over and it involved terrorist. The panic quickly set in, everyone was scrambling trying to figure out what to do. There was a woman sitting at the table trying to call her sister who worked in the first tower. She could barely dial the number on her cell phone her hands were shaking so bad. I later found out that she got out alive and unharmed, traumatized but unharmed. I could go on and on from there about my accounts on that day but i don't think there would be enough typing space, LOL.
In closings, September 11Th will be forever embedded in our hearts and minds. They people who experienced it first hand will have years of therapy to help them go on with a normal life.
(REST IN PEACE, TO ALL THE LIVES LOST)
