8.45 am September 11 2001

That day at that time I was taking lunch in Mauritania, west Africa, where it was early afternoon. We watched the footage from CNN and saw a plane hit a skyscraper. We all thought the channels had been mixed up and that a film was showing. We all know now that it was very real.

Rest in peace all of those who lost their lives. Live with your conscience those who had a hand in the deeds. Rest assured with your love of lost ones those who suffered such losses from those events.
