I'm watching an amazing programme on Channel 4 called "9/11: the Miracle of Stairway B". It explains how 14 people miraculously survived the collapse of the World Trade Center's North Tower. I hadn't realised until now that some people inside the twin towers had escaped with their lives once the towers had collapsed - all the more incredible bearing in mind that they had been buried under half a million tonnes of debris. We're approaching the sixth anniversary of the September 11th attacks, and I'm sure everyone who reads this entry well remembers where they were when it happened (I was on holiday in Majorca). There'll obviously be a lot of TV coverage over the next couple of weeks, giving people a chance to understand more about what occurred on that day. My visit to the WTC site earlier this year hit home to me the scale of the disaster. No-one should ever forget what happened on that day, and the fact that nearly 3,000 innocent people perished in the terrorist attack on the twin towers.
