My wife called me at work, told me that a plane has hit the World Trade Center. Shortly thereafter she called me again, telling me that a second plane hit the second building and the first building collapsed. I did not work that long that day, since I was pretty shocked. 

The thing is, I had a discussion with a co-worker on the day before. He said, that one man alone cannot change the word, not even a bit, but I replied "Imagine he builds a bomb and destroy the World Trade Center with that". Not even 24 hours before the first plane hit. Although, of course, I had nothing to do with the real incident, I felt bad just for my words, when I heard what happened.

The world have changed a lot, that much is sure.
