I was in Holland at the time of the attack.....just taking a break
went down rolled a good joint and turned on the TV. We only
had a UK Sky Box in the office so all channels were english only.
I was flipping channels and stopped at CNN. While doing my
puff puff pass routine with some of my friends I saw the first
plane hit the towers.......we laughed and said shit man...which
movie is this? We got to see it....we honestly thought it was
shownews featuring some new action movie.
It took 2 minutes and 3 replays before we realised this was
not some movie but that it was for real. We all couldn't believe
what our eyes were seeing. We saw it live happening as we
were watching CNN even before the attacks began.
3 days none of us worked. We have friends and business contacts
in NY which we tried to reach to check if they were ok. It took 5
days to get in touch with all of them.....they were all alright.
Those 3 days everyday we went into the office and watched
the news. Even though we were very far away we felt being
close. The world has become really small lately people traveling
all around the globe. No country is further than 18 hours away
from where you are......and that's just with a passenger carrier.
I can tell all of you people that even a shitty small little country
as Holland we were all very upset and almost everybody there
was thinking about the US and what they possibly could do to
support. I brought feelings of unity in many parts of the world.
Allthough in normal live we like to bitch and bash on almost
every topic or international issue it showed that when the shit
really hits the van.....those bitching people stick together let all
of their predigious feelings go and stand like 1 man behing the
people who need it.
At least Me and all my friends did and I know a lot of others too.
