9 11

I was 14-15 when 9/11 happened. I was in Turkey, and everyone was watching TV, trying to understand what's happening in New York. Trade Centers, I was thinking about if they are really the center of trade.. I remember everyone was sad. But a week later, probably we just remembered it as any bad thing in another country.

But now I'm in New York, and actually 9/11 was not just anything I watched in TV. Like a TV show or movie.. It really happened. In a very unexpected moment. How can you expect a plane, no, 2 plane will crash your buildings?!

I met with a guy, he was working in that building, when the security and 911 was telling "Stay wherever you are" his manager said "No, we're going out, now! Everyone!" and that's his story, he was lucky that he had a manager who was not following rules.

I went walking to Battery Park, and I saw these thousands of white flags, and other day, I went meeting with my friends at Bryant Park, there were empty chairs, I thought there will be a concert thing, but no. After I watched the details of what happened that day and how on TV, I understood, it was the ceremony for the memorial day of 9/11. And now I can feel the lost.

I don't have enough words to curse terror. I can't even describe it. But it's same in every country: civil - innocent people are the victims. Lost are the same lost, anger is the same anger.

Rest in peace.
