9/11 - Seven years on

Von Smallhausen · 12-09-2008, 18:38

I was on a CID attachment as a probationer and working on a murder investigation when I was in the car while my colleague went to sort something out at a house. He came back in the car and said that planes had crashed into the towers. When we got back to the station, everyone was in the canteen watching the footage and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

A year to the day later I was New York for the first anniversary and stood at Ground Zero with thousands of other cops from all over the world at the exact time. George W Bush visited that day as did the likes of Rober DeNiro. I will never forget it.
