911, Remember


September 11, 2001 is a day that I, as many pepople, will never forget. From the moment one of my friends called to say a Plane hit the World Trade Center to watching the news as the 2nd one hit, then the 3rd and 4th crash. I remember the absolute disbelief and horror of the day. Watching on the news as people jumped to their deaths out of the trade center. As a paramedic I have seen things that most people would never be able to comprehend, but this was so far above anything I could imagine. I was glued to the TV until going to work and then of course no one left the TV once there. It was absolutely heart breaking to see the loss of so many people, and to see all the emergency responders that lost their lives was devestating.
Here is a card I made to Remember 911
