I still remember the following:

I was at home on Sep 11th, not at work as usually. I just was about to wash the dishes and put on the TV for some soap opera which should have made this easier... they started to talk about some small plane that had crashed into one of the towers, so I turned around to see what was going on... in the right moment to see how another - not small - plane was crashing into the other tower...

I still can't say that I thought anything at this moment - and even if I have thought something, I cannot tell what it was. I just sat down in sheer terror and watched.

It still feels like watching a movie based on a story that is meant never to become real... I still feel like telling myself "This is not true".
