Remebering 9/11

I remember this day so well. At the time I lived in Long Beach, CA and my older brother worked in Wall Street right across the street from the 2 towers. It occurred when he was on his way to work and was riding the subway. It suddenly stopped and the passengers were told to evacuate. He and the other passengers ran outside to witness clouds of smoke and dust filling the air and took cover in a small convenience store. After both the towers collapsed, he along with everyone else had to walk back home. Like I said he worked in Wall Street but lived on 73rd Ave which was in the other side of town. There was no public transportation, no phone service, and no electricity for a few hours. Unlike many families who lost a loved one during that day, I am so thankful that my brother, as well as my friends and family members who lived in NY were safe from harm.
