This isn't much, and really it should be much, much more, but I just wanted to post something concerning the terrorist attacks on this day in 2001.
Almost everyone has heard that 10 years ago, 4 planes were hijacked by members of al-Qaeda and crashed into the World Trade Center's 2 towers, the pentagon and into a field in Pennsylvania when passengers took back control before it could reach its target in Washington, D.C.
10 years ago for some is a long time. For me, I was far too young to understand what was going on at the time. I remember things like "Plane crash" "Twin towers" and "Terrorist attacks" but it wasn't until years later that I was finally told the entire story of what happened.
10 years is also not long for others. My parents remember the day vividly, my grand-parents even more so. And for those who lost friends and family due to the attacks... I don't even want to know what the past ten years have been like.
I myself wasn't personally affected by these crashes, I was far too young to know anything of them, let alone understand them... But now I understand what happened and feel for my neighbour Americans and for their tragic losses. I pray that those who were affected by the crash have either found some way to move on, or that they will soon. So just, for all those who lost their lives in the attacks and for all those who lost loved ones... This is a little something in your memory.
