I was living near the Twin Towers on 9/11, so I saw the attacks, and I had friends who were killed in the attacks.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Unfortunately I was in New York when 9/11 happened.
People from all over the world were killed in the attacks on the World Trade Centre. They came from many different cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Hindu believers were killed together as they worked in the towers.
I was a war correspondent and journalist for a long time, and I was very near the towers on 9/11 and very shortly after in Afghanistan.
I had friends who died in the 9/11 tragedy; some of my friends lost family members in the aftermath of Godhra.
Well, you know, I was through the whole of the Second World War and saw all my friends killed.
The United States was attacked on 9/11/12, and we know who attacked us.
I was in my office when - on 9/11. I think I had a number of meetings scheduled. I was just getting to know the bureau. And somebody walked in and said the first plane had - or a plane had struck the World Trade Center, one of the towers.
I think 9/11 affected everybody in one way or another.
I visited the Pentagon a few days after September 11, and I still remember so vividly the smell of terror surrounding the entire building and complex. I was angry that such a brutal act of violence was committed against innocent people.
We were trying to get all of the planes down out of the sky. And we watched as the towers of the World Trade Center collapsed - something no one expected and anticipated. And you could sit there and see and be aware that thousands of people were at that moment being killed as a result of the terrorist attacks that struck the United States.
