Where were you 5 years ago?

It's funny how human memory works. I can't really remember what I did last week but I can surely remember what happened and where I was on 11th of September, 2001. I had a pretty normal school day at Senior High. We had an American exchange student in our class, Lisa, and she came to my place after school. I remember giving her some black currant juice to taste, my mom had made it herself. Then we talked how funny word "hoovering" is.

Around 3pm our time I took her to the local bank where her host dad worked. I got back home and my mom came from shopping and said that something had hit the Pentagon. I turned on the TV and saw it live: an airplane hitting another one of the Twin Towers. At first I thought it was a movie but no, it was true. It was 4pm. I watched all the news that evening and it was so unreal..

That day changed the history completely. The way I feel about the change is quite critical. It might be a bit cruel to say that the Americans were not only victims but they deserved it in a one way. The world is too America centered and not all people like it. I don't support terrorism but I think all the people should have a right to live in their way. If Americans had left Muslim countries be in the first place, maybe they had never attacked. Maybe nothing like this had ever happened and the world would have been left without another misery. We wouldn't have lost all the people that were in the building or got killed while rescueing. I would have forgot the day in the following week and never thought about it again. Now I'll remember it better than any other day in my youth...Picture was taken from here.
