THE EDITOR, Sir:
I KNOW where my God was the morning of September 11, 2001! He was very busy. First if all, He was trying to discourage anyone from taking these flights. Those four flights together held over 1000 passengers, and there were only 266 aboard. He was on four commercial flights giving terrified passengers the ability to stay calm. Not one of the family members who was called by a loved one on one of the hijacked planes said that the passengers were screaming in the background.
On one of the flights He was giving strength to passengers to try to overtake the hijackers. He was busy trying to create obstacles for employees at the World Trade Center. After all, only around 20,000 were in the towers when the first jet hit. Since the buildings hold over 50,000 workers, this was a miracle in itself.
How many of the people who were employed at the WTC told the media that they were late for work or they had traffic delays. He was holding up two 110-storey buildings so that two-thirds of the workers could get out. It was so amazing that the top of the towers didn't topple when the jets impacted.
Although this is without a doubt the worst thing I have seen in my life, I can see God's miracle in every bit of it. I can't imagine going through such a difficult time and not believing in God. Without God, life would be hopeless.
I am, etc.,
