hi how ever reads this

iīm from calgary, alberta, canada but in the moment i life in switzerland.
the day 9/11/01 was a normal day like evry other at the beginning, at 3,10 pm. i think it was i was in the tram home, when my father called me on my cellphone and tolled me that 1 aircraft has crashed in to one of the wtc towers, i got of the train to get the other train home, as i arrived at home i watched tv to look what happend, they where showing a view direct on the wtc towers, after about 5 minutes listening what happend i suddently see another plane flying very low and direct in to the second tower of the wtc, after the second crash i hade a feeling that i never had befor, i still cant say what it was but i know it wasnīt a very good feeling that i hade, i knew in the moment of the crash many people lost there lifes, and suddently the first tower collapst and then the only thing a was abel to say where my heart goes to all the poeple that died and there familys.
i still get tiers when i just think about the day taht changed many lifes also my life.
here in basel we have a television channel that shows how it looks like in the city in the moment, and as look, there was no body on the streets. about 3 years ago i was in punta cana (dominiken republic) there i got to know a mow york piloce officer, hes name was bob thats all i knew about hem, i wanted to give hem my e.mail adresse but he leavt befor i got to the reseption. i have no idea what happend with hem, i mean i didnīt know hem so good but in the moment of the crash i thought about hem.
after my father came back from a flight, (he is a pilot by swiss) it was very crazy, it wasnīt the same like normaly, we didnīt know what to say to eachother, the whole situation was crazy.
in still feel sad and my heart goes to all the people that lost someone on 9/11/01...
