    “They said a plane hit the building, I said ‘UH WHATT!’” would be my exact reaction

      I know this is a serious topic but I paused & laughed a little.
      But then she had me in tears when she spoke about people jumping out the building.

    I wish I could just give her a hug and tell her I'm so glad she survived. You can tell she is a good, kind person just by the way she talks.

    She’s reliving a trauma I can’t imagine, and yet she’s well-dressed, well-groomed, and taking better care of herself than 99% of mankind. That shows a level of class that a lot people can’t even understand.

      No it can't. It can't stop these poor people from dying of WTC related illnesses, which is still happening. It won't stop them from continuously reliving the same nightmares over and over again and it certainly won't bring back the friends they lost that day. We need to help these people and make sure they get the proper help that they need. A prayer isn't going to cut it.

      @@Augfordpdoggie Where is it written, that God would have done something to stop or prevent the actions of evil these humans? Just because you don't have faith in God, doesn't in any way prove He doesn't exist. It just proves you, tragically, have no faith in the loving God who created you. But don't make up lies about Him and pull some false narrative out of your bullish*t hat and claim he would have done x, y, or z IF He were real. That's called lying. And when you lie, you're breaking the 9th Commandment. You'd also be wise not to claim that He's weak. Or that He doesn't care. - He isn't weak. He does care. And He LOVES you!
