I live in Bronx New York on this morning I laid in bed resting dozing.  I was  thinking about how I needed some rest so that I would be up when they delivered my husbands Birthday Cake.  My mother called me and I heard the news.  Jumping up I turned on the TV and saw the Twin Towers ablaze.  It all seemed like a movie that wasn't real.  I rubbed my eyes and watched still in wonder that this was happening.  I got online and while chatting with a friend I saw the First tower Fall and I shuddered and thought about all the people on the street.  Then the second one fell and I thought about my older sisters who work in Manhattan,  My father, My little Sister who goes to school not that far away, One of my friends who was a bridesmaid at my wedding.

WHO WOULD DO THIS TO INNOCENT PEOPLE?  WHY DID THEY DO THIS?

     In Palestine they were CELEBRATING like this was a victory over ISRAEL.  HELLO THIS IS AMERICA!!!!   Here in the USA there are Palestine people cheering and celebrating also AND THEY LIVE HERE!!!!  How can anyone be happy when innocent people die how can they be so horrible and callous. They find it a honor to die in action. They believe that they go straight to Paradise when they die like this. Ready to kill and be killed to bring Terror to Millions of people. 

     The Arabic Community here are the USA are suffering also.  They are being threatened and beaten.  They cant open their businesses.  I had a sticker on my door from the previous residents who were Muslim and my husband right away scraped it off.  Arabic people who really didn't have anything to do with this incident are being hurt.  Women, Children taken off the street and beaten to the point they have to be hospitalized.  It is being said that 2 men have been shot and killed in the store they owned.  My husband went out to the store on the night of the attack and couldn't find the Arabic owned stores we usually buy things from open.  The next night was the same.  On the 3rd night some where open but many people would go by the stores and point their fingers ( Like a Gun ) at the owners and say "BUCK BUCK BUCK!"

      I thought about the people on the planes and how they are gone.  I thought about the people who jumped because they didn't want to burn to death.  The people on the street running for their lives.  I thought about how I used to feel, that I was pretty much safe here in the USA.  We have problems here but by far we are the best country to live in.  I am not patriotic I don't fly the American flag, and sing the Star Spangled Banner.  I do know that I wouldn't want to live anywhere else because America is as they say The Land of the Free.   Even with all the horrible things Minorities have lived through here.  Even with the bad things that we still go through.  We do have Freedom of Religion and belief.  We have much more Freedom than any other country in the World.

 

 

     I continued to watch the News.  I heard the Fighter Planes & Helicopters pass over head.  Ambulances racing by.  Police cars and sirens going off.  Watching the People on TV walking and running to escape Manhattan.  Knowing that they are talking into cell phones that hardly work.  Seeing the SMOKE this horrible SMOKE,  Choking and covering everyone.  Thank God my family is ok and everyone is safe.  Though I still haven't heard from my friend.  I heard how the Pentagon was hit and how a plane crashed near Camp David.  Instant Messages and Email were abundant and many people knowing I live in New York wanted to know if I was ok.  I was not directly affected but my heart was affected and my sense of safety affected.  I didn't want to make this page but I felt that I should do something.  I wanted to just forget but I realize I cant. 

     Night here was an eerie silence as I saw how all the streets in Manhattan were bare which is something that is never heard of at any hour.   Then hearing how Newspapers would not be ready in the morning since the printers were in 2 different location here in NYC and you cant get to either of them.  NYC schools are closed for Wednesday EVERY SCHOOL including Catholic. The News updates are constant,  All channels are set for the News.  It is very hard to get calls into New York.   I heard from my daughters aunt that is in Buffalo they actually had people complaining about not being able to fly.  How stupid are these people if they let people fly who knows who else will be hijacked and killed next.  We ate Birthday Cake in silence as we watched the news into the night   It is something that I will always remember.   How can you forget!

     It is such a shame with the horrible event of the Twin Towers being hit and then collapsing.  With all the sorrow that we feel.  People are taking advantage of it.  Some are calling people and claiming that they are collecting money to help.  But that is a not true.   People are calling in Bomb threats, making many people scared and flee.  Some individuals tried to sneak into the area and steal, one man almost got away with over 3,000.00 in watches.  One woman actually went to some firemen and said that she was talking to her husband on the Cell phone.  She said that her husband is a firefighter and is alive under the rubble with 9 other officers all alive.  Of course this cause a commotion and many people risked their safety to save people who are not even there.  They found out the woman made up the whole story.

The face of Satan seems to eerily appear in the smoke billowing from the blasted World Trade Center buildings in New York. At least, that's what many horrified people around the country have seen in this Associated Press photo below. The Associated Press was contacted and said the photo has not been touched up in any way.
