This is a write up from one of our members.
Ten years ago, on 9/11/01, terrorists hijacked airplanes and crashed them into the World Trade Center. Many, many, many, people were killed. I just saw some footage of the first Fox News report of it. At first, for those who don't know, they were just having a casual report. Then, they got the shocking report that an airplane had just flown into the World Trade Center. They said that it was an accident. But then, several minutes later, when they were disusing what could have caused this tragic crash, but then they saw live footage of another airplane crashing into the second tower, the west tower. This was no accident. This was a deliberate attack, as they quickly agreed. They were calm and efficient, but I wonder how calm they would have been off of the camera. One thing is for sure, their calmness is probably what kept many people calm themselves.
It took my breath away when I watched the ten-year-old video, and I cannot imagine how I would have reacted if I did not know what was going to happen, and if I did not know that this happened ten years ago. I am glad that I wasn't nearby at the time. I have no idea what I would have done, as I'm sure is the case with most of America's population. Most people would have panicked because of fright, confusion, and terror. And it is just as horrifying now as it was ten years ago.
I was two years old when this tragedy hit, and I kind of --sort of-- remember it, but that doesn't make it any less horrifying when I see the videos. To talk about it is one thing, but to see it... it's awful. No, more then just awful... There is no word to describe this.
I saw the plane hit the tower, and I saw the towers starting to weaken. That was all that I needed to see. I have read the rest. I know what happened.
Soon after this tragedy, many people prayed. They helped with charities. They enlisted. Now, on this tenth anniversary of those horrible attacks, let us get involved in such things again. The Christians have not stopped praying. But what about the charities? And not all of the terrorists have been stopped. There are still attacks. We still need soldiers. We still need help.
Please, people, Pray. Volunteer. Enlist. Help. Remember.
