911 Memorial

Can we have a 1-minute silence to remember those who lived great, and died 7 years ago.


*1 minute passed*

Imagine it was a normal day. You went to work, thinking it was just another work-loaded hectic day. You stepped into the office about 9am and started doing your work, or at least started off with a cup of coffee at the coffee room.

Out of a sudden, you heard a *BANG!*. The whole building was shaking. People screaming. And you looked down, you saw smoke coming out from the floors under you.

It was one fine day, 7 years ago, when people thought it was just another working day. Little did they know they would end up, well, either in hell or in heaven minutes after two planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York, and also the Pentagon in Washington.

The wickedness of the Al-Qaeda stunned the whole world. That incident changed the world, at least it changed the America. People became more religious. Churches became packed a few Sundays after the incident. Suddenly everybody cherished and treasured their families and loved ones even more.

A total of 2998 people died in both the locations of attacks. Close to 6500 people got injured. A few more missing. But millions and millions of hearts were mourning.

These kinds of incidents will happen even more. When the end time draws nearer, wickedness of people grows stronger. What are you going to do about it? What happens if something like that happens to you? Are you ready to go?


Today we remember those who lost their loved ones, those who braved themselves to save thousands of lives, and especially those who witnessed the incidents and have yet to know the Saviour of the world.


"Even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me."

Psalm 23:4
