I recall sitting up watching the late news when the gorgeous newsreader Sandra Sully told us that a plane had crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade Centre. I thought at the time that it must have been a light plane which flew off course. Then they showed the footage of the plane ploughing into the side of the building. Then the next building got hit I went numb. Then the 1st building went down and then the second.
At times I wonder how terrified the people were - especially the people that were trapped in one tower as they watched the other tower going down.
I recall one story about a fireman who was having his last day on the job as he was retiring and got that last call out - he did'nt come home.
My heart goes out to the people who survived and the families who had loved ones that didn't make it home.
