I just landed on Sept 10th with my family from India. I woke up on the 11th by my friend stating that WTC was struck by planes.I lived in Brooklyn on the 12th floor with a bedroom window view of the WTC. My sister-in-law was working few blocks from WTC. My brother & my husband went to Brooklyn bridge. They saw a sea of people walking from Manhatten. People were asking strangers about their loved ones. Water stand & emergency tents were set up. We saw the towers going down from our bedroom window. The smoke extended beyond our apartment. I was a 3rd year medical resident. We prepared for causalities that never arrived. Our muslim resident doctors were not harmed. NY was calm & quiet. In fact outside NY, muslims were targeted. After that day I never opened my bedroom window. Six months later I wiped 3 inches of black soot on my balcony furnitures when I moved. I never visited ground zero. Even today it is too painful. My prayers for the families and first responders.
