I lived in Owingen when this happened. I saw the planes falling, burning pieces. We didn't now what it was, for a second I thought it was a meteor or a rocket.

I lived in Owingen when this happened. I saw the planes falling, burning pieces. We didn't now what it was, for a second I thought it was a meteor or a rocket. I was 16, school was canceled. The gym of the local primary school became the mortuary for the remains of the victims. Many of my friends found body parts in their backyards. Reading this story made me realize how deeply I buried these moments to never think about it again. It is an unbelievable tragedy. Thanks for writing this up, it helped me to gain some perspective.
