Where were you on the 11th of September 2001? I was at my
Auto Workshop in Lagos going through customers unpaid invoices early in the
morning and already very agitated. On my desk was a very inconspicuous 9 inch
black and white T.V which served as an occasional distraction.
Suddenly, the
news flash came on one of the local stations. It sounded like a scene from a
movie even though no one had ever visualized such a script. The reality of the
situation eventually dawned on me. That was the most unimaginable moment of my
entire life till date.
In days
that followed, heart rendering photos of victims in uncompromising situations
were published. Imaging viewing helpless people jumping from the burning
buildings to their death; or those waving objects through smoked filled windows
moments before the buildings collapsed…still cannot comprehend. I posed the
question on my facebook page where several respondents have already expressed
that moment in history in their own perspective.

I had taken my boys to the Doctors office and my husband was cutting our lawn grass. I will never forget that day.
I was at my children's pediatrician's office when I heard the news. I will never forget that day as long as I live!
