Well I was in school... a teacher came in and said: "A plane just flew into the world trade center"... and it didn't look like he was serious... like he didn't really believe it himself. we dismissed it as a bad joke. Then I came out on the stair case and saw the smoke coming out from manhattan through the window. a bunch of people were by the window staring at it. I was like "WHOA" (Keanu reeves style) we stared at it for like 15 minutes and then went to class. in the middle of classes the principal announced a meeting in the auditorium... everyone came, we didn't know what to do, so they told us to go home. I came outside the building and there was ash falling down from the sky, and the school is in brooklyn, pretty far, like 5 maybe 10 miles from WTC, but there was ash in the air, all over. You couldn't see anything in manhattan, it was that much smoke and ash.. me and a bunch of friends went to the local WIZ store and sat there on the floor watching the towers burn. Nobody wanted to go home. I was thinking that this was the answer to my prayers of the end of the world, but it wasn't, I came home to find my father sitting infront of the TV with wide eyes. it was crazy, but nobody I knew worked there.
That day I logged onto battle net and created my first D2LOD character... it was a beginging of a new life. LOL well a week passed and things settled down, it was never as bad as they showed it on TV, it never is for those that live in the hotspot. But yes a lot of people died. And its sad. What can I say, at least it was planes, not nukes or some crazy chemical warfare... at least we're alive and not dead or turned into ghouls the like of Harrold.
