If it were possible for me to go back in time, I would want to have been someone who would of had a premonition of the 9/11 attacks and been able to save peoples lives... It would have been hard, but I would make sure that all the people on the four planes about to be hijacked and in the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon be evacuated within minutes and close off any nearby areas to the buildings... This way, the nearly 3000 people who died would possibly still been living today, all the families involved would not still be going through pain from their lost ones, and the war between the USA and al-Qaeda members would not have gone on for so long... It would have been amazing!
A bit off the subject, but a movie that has stuck with me called, Remember me. The main character (Robert Pattinson) is a troubled teen, whose brother committed suicide years ago... He blamed his father as he believed his father pushed him too hard at work and therefore could not handle the pressure anymore... Long story short, in the end, Robert Pattinson forgives his father and as he waits in his fathers' office for him one morning to finally declare their 'war' over, the camera zooms out, allocating September 11, and you see him standing in one of the Twin Towers, with his father still in a cab on his way to the office. All of a sudden, one of the planes crash into the building, and that is how the movie ends... Can you imagine how many of those 3000 innocent people were not prepared for what was about to happen to them? It breaks my heart having to think about it all over again...
So that is what my 15 minutes of fame would be. Not to have fame from the world, but just a thank you from the people whose lives I saved, that would be good enough for me...
One of my favourite quotes and something I like to think about...
Ghandi said that whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it, because it's a good bet... nobody else will...
