I know how you feel .. it does not get easier i go to service in town. the local firefighters and 999 personnel along with some of us nurses go to the open service to remember and reflect.. it does not get any easier even after all these years

Gosh so many people on here that knew people killed in the towers.

I didn't know anyone who died on 9/11 - my friend is a NYPD cop and was working that day though

I was a web designer at the time of 9/11 and a client rung me at half past two in the afternoon yelling at me to turn his website off (he was a financial anylyst who's clients bought and sold foreign currency on his recommendations.)

I asked him what was going on and he yelled, "haven't you seen the fucking news today!!"

"No, what's happened?", as I turned on the TV and watched a plane hit the North Tower.

"wtf is that!!" I asked him.

"That's the SECOND ONE!" he yelled. "The markets are in freefall, turn my fucking site off now!"

Once I gathered my senses I did as he asked, then I sat there glued to the TV watching the events unfold. Niether of the Towers had fallen by then.

I remembered I had another customer in the City so I tried to ring her. Couldn't get through, the lines were frantic so I stayed watching the TV thinking if she needed her site taken down she'd ring me. She didn't. Then the South Tower fell and the feeling in the pit of my stomach was something I never want to feel again. I rang her number and she answered. "Michelle, I know it's a bad time but what do you want me to do?"

She said, "I'm sorry, I can't talk, I've just lost 20 friends."

She hung up.

Watching this programme tonight, made me think that for all my problems, or those in this country or elsewhere today, they are nothing in comparison to what everyone went through that fateful day in NYC.

The way people pulled together, against overwhelming odds, somehow restores your faith in humanity and how much we all rely on all those Emergency Services personnel across the world.

Watching Seconds from Disaster on National Geographic. 10 years on and still stories unfolding. There was a programme from the childrens _iewpoint the other day: heartbreaking.

Can't believe it's 10 years since that truly awful day.
