I live here in Uk. At the time my husband and I were in a car showroom, waiting for the dealer to get the keys to a car we hoped to buy. We were sitting waiting in the lounge when it came on TV, and I was so upset that I decided that I did not want to bother with the car, and that I wanted to go home. The dealer was non too pleased, and I had to be very rude to him. It was a month later before we bought a car (not I might add, from that showroom).
I was due to travel to Washington with two friend,six weeks after that awful day, and people thought that we should not go, but as far as i was concerned, that was just giving in to terrorism and we decided to go. We visited close to the Pentagon and saw the devastation, and lit candles at a spot which had been turned into an impromptu memorial site.
It was all very emotional for me, as I had a son serving in the police and one serving with the fire service here in UK
May none of us ever have to witness such a thing again, although we have had the awful London terrorist attack.
