Attacks

Nearly four years ago, I sat in awe as I watched the drama unfold on TV. Planes were crashing into the World Trade Centre at New York. People were jumping off buildings, smoke was everywhere, and the buildings actually collapsed right in front of my eyes during the live coverage. I was shocked, dumb founded and worried about people I know that might be there. I can so relate to something happening like that, innocent people in their offices, dying knowing the reason why.

Tonight, I found out as I was staying back at work that there was a bomb attack in London. As I read the internet sites, horror filled my heart. I kept saying the word "FUCK" repeatedly. I actually know people that are in London, working there, living there, and some of them are my very close friends. I have been to London before, and I actually know those places where the bombs went off. I can imagine what was happening and how chaotic it must have been. I am still in shock and am still waiting on news from some of them including one of my close friends who is over there for a three month work experience.

But it seems like life goes on for alot of people. When I went online tonight, noone seems to care about the attacks. Some of them don't even know what was happening even though this would be one of the biggest news of the year. I guess most of us are still living in our own "no man's land".
