It all flashed before my eyes. The flame busted out the side of the building, debris falling, and people screaming. All that within seconds.

People love to walk down a New York street and admire the beautiful skyline capped off by the gigantic Twin Towers.

Sirens were blaring from every possible angle. People running and taking pictures of the scene before us. The blaze set out a flame of scorching fire. From the highest part of the burning tower, people screaming, yelling for help.

Taxis beeping, the aroma of new York style pizza in the air, and the scuffle of peoples shoes. That’s how you know your in New York.

The tower was still ablaze when in the distance, very faintly you could hear the engine of a second plane. Within seconds a loud BANG roared from the second tower. A nuclear sized explosion blew out the side of the north tower.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. The ground started ti shake. As I looked up, the south tower began to fall. I began to run. I jumped inside a bakery shop to hide from the debris.

-     -      -       -        -       -       -       -         -          -         -        -        

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, down the north tower goes, within seconds the towers were gone.

9/11, the day the world stopped spinning.
Never Forget, Never Forgive. RIP.
