9/11
Remembering.
I was living and studying in The Netherlands, when on September 11th of 2001 I was rudely awaken by a phone call just after 1 PM (I’ve pulled an all nighter, thus sleeping).
My friend from Venezuela called me long distance with a terrified tone of voice and told me to put on the TV. Immediately I turned on CNN and started watching the horror.
People where scared and didn’t want to fly anymore. US economy and tourism tanked soon thereafter. Just two month after the attacks I flew to US with Air France’s Boeing 747 Amsterdam – Paris – Miami (Miami was more convenient than New York at that time) and stayed a for a week, this way showing support to the US in a difficult time.
