 terrible disaster
Posted by: David from Groningen

i was playing the computergame 'simcopter' (flying around with a helicopter and saving people from the roofs of buildings and extinguishing fires and that sort of things) in my room in groningen, a town in the netherlands, when my mother called at about 4.45 pm (10.45 a.m. in ny) . she said: 'did you know a terrible disaster has happened? the 3rd world war is going to begin!'. when she told me what happened i couldn't believe it until i turned on the tv. when i did that, the two towers both had already collapsed and the 4th plane had also crashed already. i spent the next 10 hours watching tv, but the it was 3 o'clock in the morning so i went to bed. the main things i was thinking were: 'this is the most terrible disaster that has happened during my life' and 'the world has changed dramatically today'. but i wasn't afraid of the 3rd world war (although 55% of the dutch people thought ww3 would begin at that time) because i thought america would react with sense (and they did!).
