I have a compilation of emails over 300 pages from my friends around the world. I collected emails when I was hooked on online chat. I have a lot memories of it that it makes me smile every time I read them. But some emails made me sad especially the 9/11 email I received. As we can remember 9/11 was a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States on September 11, 2001(7 years today).
Here's the email message that an American friend sent to me the day of the September 11 attacks:
I have never seen anything like this in my life. Things here are getting bad. I do not even feel safe anymore because of all the bad things that have happened today. I hope that we have seen the worst of it all. I do not know if I have any family there right now but I do not think that I do because I am sure that someone in my family would have told me by now. When I first heard the news it felt like it was all a dream. I work right by the airport (DTW) and I got real nervous, thinking that something would happen there so I left and called off my second job. All of the people I know have been sent home from work and I am pretty sure that they will go back tomorrow. I will go back tomorrow if nothing else happens. How do you feel about all of this?
I will talk to you later,
Mickey
I hope it will not happen again in any country.

one best way to commemorate this sad moment. im amazed at how you keep things like this.
nakapanood ka ba ng mga amateur videos sa youtube about 9/11? nakakatakot saka nakaka-awa yung mga tao.
meron dun bago gumuho yung twin towers, dahil sa sobrang usok sa lower floors hindi makababa yung mga tao sa higher floors kaya ginagawa nila tumatalon sila from their floor tapos babagsak sila sa ground...
nag-panic sila eh...
