09/11

I try to reflect on 09/11 every year if i can, a day etched in our minds of those old or young enough to remember and as far as i am concerned this will stay in my mind and thoughts for the rest of my natural life.
What people went through is not worth thinking about, sitting on a 767 as it skimmed the top of skyscrapers as a passenger or crew member knowing what had already happened must have been horrific.
What about those poor people clinging onto the world trade centres outer concrete over 100 stories up as the heat, smoke and fire was forcing them out of the windows, and to make the decision to jump knowing it was guaranteed death is beyond thought.

We all complain about our friends, our colleagues and our jobs but i would not swap for what happened to those people so we should get to grips with what life throws at us and get on with it.
As the world mourns those souls lost on this day 10 years ago we are still able to shed a tear, find a quiet corner to reflect and watch those aircraft slam into the twin towers, pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania and wonder was it their time.
We should also not forget the 280,000 people killed in the Tsunami which always seems to go forgotten.
