We had a death in the family the day before, so we were already very grief stricken. 9/11 just made it seem as if the whole world was mourning with us.SQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251030404220909306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840267469201344530.post-48743589369920879702007-02-05T23:47:00.000-07:002007-02-05T23:47:00.000-07:00Its interesting that 3 of the 4 comments on this c...Its interesting that 3 of the 4 comments on this came from my South African buddies. (Von made her entry after I reminded her of her involvment that day in '77). I sent Drizel the story I wrote after 9/11; share amongst yourselves if you want her to forward it to you.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840267469201344530.post-91151320709673097672007-02-05T20:35:00.000-07:002007-02-05T20:35:00.000-07:00I definitely remember the el crash.

I was actually off work and had done some shopping afterwards; I walked directly beneath the curve where the trains fell not ten minutes before the accident happened. There have been several lucky moments like that in my life (and most people likely have them-- they just don't realize it like this). I call them "swings" [of fate]. There have also been unlikely swings, the most glaring of which was that first big Illinois lottery in the 80s (1984?) when Michael Witowski, I think his name was, won something like $43 or $64 million dollars, the first of a jackpot that size in Illinois. One of my tickets was a Quick Pick, and it was one cycle down from the winning number in EVERY SINGLE digit. Gotta love the swing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840267469201344530.post-46354772700084729162007-02-05T06:35:00.000-07:002007-02-05T06:35:00.000-07:00I was in standard 9 when the planes hit the twin t...I was in standard 9 when the planes hit the twin towers, my sister was in matric, i remember we were on our way to her sunbed session for her matric dance, and i was so shocked when i saw it on tv.....SaM-GiRLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490387594928438241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840267469201344530.post-74627011560200700072007-02-05T05:01:00.000-07:002007-02-05T05:01:00.000-07:00Each country have their own pain, somes pain is al...Each country have their own pain, somes pain is allready lasting years but no means of letting the world know.<br />Others have the tools and means to show the world their pain.Drizelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16746480963316566816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840267469201344530.post-59891363352541893632007-02-05T04:42:00.000-07:002007-02-05T04:42:00.000-07:00Hey there
