I was sitting on the beach dirnking a coffee before i got ready for work, i do it every morning, because i live right on the beach with a nice view of manhattan. I looked up and a lady came out of her condo saying the world trade center had gotten hit by a plane, i looked up at the skyline and seen the tower pouring out smoke. about 20 minutes later or so, i'm looking at the towers and see another explosion, i run inside next thing you know theyre replaying the plane hitting the second tower. now im getting scared, then they reported the pentagon was hit, i didnt know what was next a nuke or chemical warfare, so i called my immeadiate family right away to make sure they were ok. All the lines were busy but i got through, after i got off the phone i watched on tv as the first tower collapsed, i just stared at the tv in shock, and almost cried. then second one fell within minutes afterwards, i run back outside and i see nothing of manhattan there was so much smoke it looked like manhattan was leveled. I just stared at what was left of the manhattan skyline saying, who would do this, why? and how?
