CNN-IBN

Manipur: The 9/11 attacks affected not just US families but several in India too. One of the families was in Manipur. Jupiter Yambem was one of the Indians killed in New York.

He was working as a Banquet Manager at a restaurant located on the 107th floor of the World Trade Centre.

His brother Yambem Laba recalled the moment he was informed of the attack.

"I called two of my journalist friends based in Delhi to see if they could get through to New York and find out if Jupiter was at work when the crash took place. Finally, at 2 o' clock in the morning, I got a call from Delhi, and (they) said yes, Jupiter was at work when the incident happened. That was the first bit of shock that I got," Yambem said.
