I was at my brothers wedding in the Carribean, I was laying on a sun bed at the time catching some rays before the whole 'squeeze yourself into you best clothes when you have been eating all exclusive for a week'
I heard people come out of the hotel talking about it, some of the hiolday makers were american and german so they all had their thoughts on it. So I ran inside and up to my room. I had all the US channels there like CNN etc so alot of the footage I was seeing was live, is was unreal, to be in a foreign country, dehydrated from too much sun and to see all this coverage, I didn't quite believe it. I was stuck to my tv for hours, wanting to know more, wanting to know if everyone was evacuated or not.
Everyone at the hotel was in shock and the wedding was still planned to be held that same day and could not be cancelled. I was told not to mention it at the wedding so not to upset the bride, so we just went ahead with the wedding a tried to ignore what was happening around us. Which really annoyed me because the death toll was so high, trying to forget was to almost pretend those people didn't matter, thats just wrong.
I have since made a movie on Sept 11 for a Uni project it was a 'make a film in 24hrs about the subject we give you' type of thing. And well it was a good experience making it, the film was showed to my class the next day on a big cinema screen and they were all in tears, I suppose the film was a bit of a emotional rollercoster like the event really, the films now on youtube.
