I was in college and wondered why the conference hall was opened and people were gathered in there. The huge doors were open, so I went in. To my amazement, I saw a reporter on a huge TV screen with a plane crashing through two buildings in the background. I asked a professor of mine about what the hell that was all about, and he said, that two planes crashed in the twin towers in the US. The rest is self-explanatory. It really bummed me out and made me realize how fragile things can happen on a whim. The world changed before my eyes. It affected me deeply and still is along with issues like the environment, climate, overpopulation etc... All these events from 911 onward changed my life completely.

@caesar7 Can’t imagine the post trauma caused by that event . In just a matter of seconds too many lives were lost and seeing how it happened was really nightmarish. I hope you are fine now.

@TessDun Yes...I am but it still affect me on a different scale how the world has changed. The year before 911 was the Y2K crisis...now we have major issues to deal with. I worry about the kind of world the next generations will have to deal with. My time is pretty well done. I pray 🙏 that a better world will be inherited by them.
