> First of all, he was trying to discourage anyone from taking this

> He was on 4 commercial flights giving terrified passengers the

> said that passengers were screaming in the background.

> On one of the flights He was giving strength to passengers to try to

> He was busy trying to create obstacles for employees

> So many of the people who were employed at the WTC told the media

> that they were late for work or they had traffic delays.

>

> He was holding up 2-110 story buildings so that 2/3

> of the workers could get out. I was so amazed that the top

> of the towers didn't topple when the jets impacted.

> Although this is without a doubt the worst thing I have seen

> in my life, I can see God's miracles in every bit of it. I keep

> thinking about my friend and praying for her every chance I have.

> I can't imagine going through such a difficult time and not believing

> in God. Life would be hopeless.
