Five years on …
On the fifth anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11, there is really one subject on which I must blog today: the attack on the World Trade Center.
I have visted NewYork four times and twice I went to the top of the World Trade Center: 31 August 1980 alone & 11 April 1984 with my wife and son. So I have no difficulty relating to the pictures of that awful day and, in the last week, I’ve watched three television programmes about the attack.
It was not really the start of the ‘war on terror’ and certainly we are still far from the end of the struggle. For today, though, let us quietly remember the 3,000 who died that day in New York and Washington and on United 93.
