9/11

[TornadoLovesMelody]

That day, when it happened, my family and I were in a car on our way over to my twin cousins who were about to celebrate their 20th birthday.
All were in shock and we tried calling so many people that day as we knew our family (and many friends) were working and living close by. So... we all stared at the tv's for a few hours.. ate dinner and cake while staring at the dinner and hoped that the phone lines would get back on.
It was a sad day indeed and ever since that day I keep thinking if people would care more about the wars going on if they had anyone close to them there.
It was a shock for the proud USA to take a hit like that but when I think of it in perspectives of what's going on today, around the world, it really wasn't such a big deal.
It was to me, it was to many people I know.. but when thinking in a world-population that dies in wars every year and that has their towns bombed or massacred.. not so much.

Also, I tend to watch clips like this one on memorial days:
