Adam Mayblum talks about 9-11 and what he did that day. Being from New York and having relatives who were in one of the towers I felt a connection to this passage. This was a tragic day and I remember it exactly as if it was yesterday. It was the end of the school day, I was in sixth grade, and as I got home both my parents were hypnotized by the TV. So I curiously went over and asked "what they were watching." My parents told me "the news and that the twin towers went down." I was in shock when I looked at the towers and saw smoke bellowing from the towers. Ill never forget the news clip. Then we got a phone call from my brother in law and found out me made it out safe.
It was probably one of the saddest days in history in the US and it affected everyone. The next day you could see everyones mood had changed and that people were doing little things like holding door for people and other little things. Mayblum's really hit it home when he described the event and how he added an element of suspense. His story really puts you on the edge of your seat as he describes descending through the first tower. I think it is miraculous that Myblum made it out in one peace. I think no one should of had to gone through what he did.
