September 11 Remembered

I was in the Ebury Wine Bar having a late lunch at the bar and watching television when it suddenly switched to a view of the Twin Towers and replayed the first plane crashing into one Tower and then showed the second plane crashing into the second Tower live. Weeks later I met a young man who had been in one of the Towers in a sports shop on the second floor where at first they were locked in but shortly thereafter miraculously let out and told to escape outside. This young man then went back to his nearby hotel to pack his bag and flee whilst all the while looking out of the window at the disaster that was unfolding before his eyes. He noticed bits falling down from the top of the Tower he was looking at only to realise with horror that these were not bits of the building dropping like stones to the earth but people. He got out of his hotel and ran, dragging his suitcase behind him. He kept on running for what seemed like hours and when he eventually stopped he had no idea where he was or of the time. He had nightmares and although I have not seen him recently he was still having nightmares the last time I did see him about 4 years ago. Contrary to the bile pushed by the Guardian and BBC programmes like Question Time America did not bring this on itself. To say otherwise is to deny our own worth and all the benefits England has brought to the World for after all what is America but an English creation.
