9/11 tenth anniversary: London memorial service St Paul's Cathedral: Ints; Courtney Cowart (Survivor of 9/11) SOT - On 9/11 I was in Trinity's office tower - Only one tower stood between us - We had been working for months to prepare for film - The archbishop of Canterbury was with us - At 8.46 Flight 11 dove into the north tower - The programme was never made- Instead our lives were reshaped forever - When the South tower collapsed we were suffocating - I remember holding wet bibs over babies mouths to protect them - I remember looking at the eyes of fire-fighters - I remember the sight of a woman being carried - The next morning Archbishop Rowan preached from a text - He said the acts of the previous morning had initiated - He asked if this is how we will go on - The question shaped everything we tried to be from that point on - In the following days we moved throughout the city - yet I began to notice that another language was spoken - Conditions changed - The language of the Sikh - Profiled as a terrorist because of the turban on his head - He sat with immense dignity - With tears around his face - Braving the hostility - he reached into his pocket and gave a baby a dollar bill - the language of the orphans who came from the original ground zero's - who came from Hiroshima for their speech - Witnessing all of this convinced me that love is a power - Extreme acts of love drove the power out - God has blessed humanity
