Remembering the Twin towers


Can you believe it's already been 7 years since the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed? It seems like almost yesterday when the news showed the unbelievable images of the burning towers.

Yesterday, Dutch television showed the movie united 93 (got that one on DVD), and a documentary reconstructing the events from within the towers, altered with interviews with actual survivers. I never really thought about how it would have been withing the towers, since obviously on television we only saw the exterior images of the disaster. Very imressive to see how many people risked (and all too often gave) their own lifes to save others. I can't imagine how horrifying it must have been to be in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
