09/11 8 years after the tragedy

This Friday September 11 will be 8 years after the terrorist attack of the Twin Towers. Last Monday I was watching the History Channel and saw one of the best documentaries ever made from that date. It was about the same thing but this time all the data and all the facts and the chronology of the situation was emited by some guests and receptionist from the hotel that was just infront of the world trade center. It was very nice to see how the people that survived that tragedy was so greatful to God and the firefighters who helped that day. 

Something that touched me was a lady in wheel-chair that even though she coudln't walk or move quickly she managed to save her self, and also to find her mom that separated from her when all the people were running and the second tower fell down.
Then an architect that was going to have an interview in the hotel, didn't realized was happening untill he saw a lady burning, he helped her and tooke her to a hospital, they are pictures of him helping her, after he tooked her to the hospital he kept communicating with her untill they told him she was dead.
The last thing was this lawyer who refused to pack quickly to move out of the hotel because he ignored the gravity of the situation. When he noticed he was the only guest in that area and that almost all his part of the hotel was vanished from the map, he cried for help and a firefighter that was looking for on of his men heard him and helped him crawl out of the bulding. While he got all the help he relized that that thay could be his last one and he woulnd't be in his daughters wedding untill his hero came. The lawyer invated the firefighter to the wedding and wrote him greeting notes.
