When the attacks occurred it was late evening in Melbourne. I had left the TV on without sound and was in another room doing something on my computer. I decided it was probably time to go to bed (about 11 PM) and wandered in to turn off the TV when I saw the first tower on fire. “What the…”, I thought and turned on the sound.

I think we in the U.S. have tended to think they occur elsewhere, but not in our country. 9/11 proved otherwise in a most violent way.

Two oceans were not enough to protect us.

I do remember other terrorist attacks like our German Bakery blast, Bombay bomb blasts and so on and can not join you in your hope that we should never have such events ever.

Absolutely shocking. Of course on top of the 2977 people who died at the time, many hundreds more have died since then of illnesses caused by the smoke and inhalation of toxic chemicals. We can only hope such a deadly attack doesn't happen again.<br /><br />Incidentally, Jenny andnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472673041193755894noreply@blogger.com
