I was sick at home that day. As a twelve year old.
I remember trying to find something enjoyable to watch on TV to distract myself from feeling sick, and lonely cause mom and dad had to go to work.


I had normal broadcasting for an hour or so.. Then,suddenly, the channel i was watching, jumped to a live broadcast. (As did every single other channel in The Netherlands)
The footage of those planes crashing into the twin towers flashed by, and since broadcasting was live... (I think) I saw the towers go down in realtime? I think..


It was nauseating.. Scary. I was alone. I was old enough to understand what was happening, and where, but just the why? I think I cried, even though I was safe and sound. In our the living room of my own home... The footage made me sicker than I already was, but yet I kept watching. Digesting this was going to take a while...

Did we ever?
