If you’re about 30 years old or older, you remember the shock the world was in 22 years ago today, the 12 of September, right? Smoke was billowing up from New York City as both gigantic towers of the World Trade center had collapsed after being hit by two different commercial airplanes which had been hijacked. Thousands of people were dead, the global economic markets were in ‘free fall’, and a new word, “terrorist”, was suddenly being heard on every news broadcast around the world. Also, names of places like Afghanistan and Pakistan, which most people of the world knew little about, were front page headline countries. Everything was changing so fast even 24-hour news organizations could not keep pace and feed the world accurate, fresh news. I wonder where you were when you first heard the news. What emotions did you feel? What thoughts did you have? How did it affect you that week, 22 years ago?
