After all day work, I was tired. I took ferry from asian side of bosphorus to europe side of bosphorus to go home. I was trainee at a software company. I had sat out side of ferry and I was watching bosphorus. Then a cell phone rang. I did not care. A little bit later the man who sit next to me was talking on the phone. I just heard some word. He said in Turkish '' Amerika, ucak(plane) , terrorist. Then I turned to him, i saw his face resemble something strange happened. After he finished his phone call he said somebody hit the USA. I worried, because my sister and my brother was living in the USA.First, I thought them but one of my sister was in Turkey with her husband.As soon as i got out from ferryi tried to call my sister but i could not reach them to talk but it was impossible because phone line was so busy. I took cap to home and then i turned on tv. it was un believable. Two munite later one of my sister called me. I said thanks to God. Actually I had already learned terrorist attack was to New York City but hearing my sister's voice make me happy at that moment. Fortunately, they were alive.
A lot of people died in this terrorist attack. We all really sad about this tragedy. However, september 11 evokes me something else. I had plan to come the USA after my training. Unfortunately after 9/11 it was hard to come the USA especially if people form middle east. In spite of all those negative events i applied to visa, but i could not take it. 9/11 postpoened my american dream for a while.
