I was getting ready for work and I never ever put the tv on, but
this morning, for some reason, I did. I watched it happen.
I thought, "Okay, I'm dreaming, this is a dream". It was SO eerie
(I live right across the river from Manhattan). I pinched myself.
It took me a looong time to admit to myself I wasn't dreaming.
The shock lasted for days, depression for weeks.

I had to spend a lot of time helping my sister through her own
trauma from this event.

My sister, a psychotherapist was working in an office in Jersey City, her and
her colleague could see the towers from their office window. My sister told me,
"We both got down on our knees without a word and started praying, we watched and prayed".

For days after, she had clients with severe post traumatic stress. The worst case, she had, was a woman who saw ten Arabic men on a a Jersey City corner on September 10 chanting, 9-1-1, 9-1-1, and shouting hurray! hurray! and holding up two-finger victory signs. This was the day before!! It took the witness years to get over the guilt of "I should have said something to someone". While the towers going down saddened and shocked me, this info sickened me. I know now that the mosque where the event was planned was in Jersey City.

I'm Arabic myself, although with a Christian background. The Arabic language is like sweet music to my heart. I felt betrayed in a way I can't describe.
