"In 2001 I was in Tokyo when we saw on television live footage of the destruction of the WorldTrade Center towers.

Of course we could not reach the United States for hours and could not find out the fate of our family members and friends.

We stayed glued to the television for news and we tried to figure out how we could get back to the United States.

We decided to take the train to Kyoto where we knew we could find peace and beauty amidst the horror of the day." ROB RIGGLE RECALLS 'APOCALYPTIC' SCENE AT GROUND ZERO WHILE SEARCHING FOR SURVIVORS AFTER 9/11 Stewart went on to describe finding an unexpected moment of solace at a temple in Miho, Japan, after a friend encouraged her group to visit.

"She was stranded in Paris but urged us to go to the temple at Miho for solace and rest.

We drove through the entrance tunnel, past the museum (both designed by IM Pei) and onto the huge beautiful temple (photo one).

It had been designed by the very same Minoru Yamasaki who was the architect of the World Trade Center !!!!" "As we entered the deserted temple (it was closed that day) the organ played America the Beautiful for us.

All of us in my small group stood in awe and disbelief and we all cried for the people lost that day in the attack that changed America forever!" LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Dean Cain shared a personal tribute on X alongside a selfie.
