I remember I was around 10 years old. It was in the end of the morning, here in Brazil, when I was getting back home from school. I was at the bus and I noticed that the radio was turned on. Everybody was trying to listen to the information the station was giving: the Twin Towers attack. I got in my house and my family was all sitting around the television and watching the scene of the airplane hitting the second building. Minutes later, the two most important symbols of the US postcard was all over the floor.
Three or two years ago, when I was already in High School, I saw a documentary about 9/11. That was the first time I could see what exactly happened in the begining of this new century. New York in caos, so many people dying and everybody trying to understand what anybody could explain.
Nowadays, I look back and realize how huge and terrible it really was. And how affected the world got. History and economy were transformed by terrorism. But much more than this: so many lives changed in a very painfull way. In a personal thought, September 11th was one of the recent news story which has affected me the most. In an historical way and even in an emotional way.
