September 11th
Today marks the tenth anniversary of the suicide attacks on the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York and three other coordinated attacks. That episode elevated the word "terrorism" into a household term and cranked up the paranoia against Islam. Ten years is a long time, but I remember I was home alone watching TV. My show was interrupted and footage of an airplane crashing into one of towers was shown. Vaguely remember having my jaw drop open and scooting closer to the TV set. When a second plane crashed into the tower, I was really stunned.
Do you remember what you were doing when disaster struck?

I remember it was late in the evening and I was in the living room with my family, watching TV when suddenly the show was cut to give way to the breaking news.
To all who perished, may you rest in peace.
Can't blame the Americans for hating their guts.

saddest part was, i had a feeling that some malaysians might perish and i was right :-(
Malaysians or not, they perished. Hopefully after ten years, their families have some kind of closure.
