I also was born on Sept. 11th
June 18, 2006 - Borsbeek, Belgium

Believe it or not, I also was born on Sept. 11th and watched this LIVE on tv.

The day the planes flew into the buildings I was home, I took a day off of work (which I normally don't do at my birthday) and was watching TV (which I normally also don't do at day) but it felt afterwards it was my destiny to actually witness this, also because it was my birthday.

I watched the live report on CNN when the second plane fly into the building. I was watching the reporter explaining the first one at the scene when behind his back the second flew into the second building. I was shocked and couldn't believe what I saw. My emotions went from "am I dreaming - is this a movie - is this a sick joke - is this real ??".

So I (and a lot of others from my family) will never will forget my birthday again and it has now 2 meanings; the joy of the day I was born and the sadness for the marker the terrorists made to show the world how far humans have become. I am a very emotioned man, I was before and am now even more since Sept. 11th. ... People should be remembered what happened that day and that's exactly what you do with this art.

You would do me a GREAT favor if you could send me one of the flipbooks you made because that day means since 2001 a lot more then before.
