911DA Story: Story
It was a normal morning. I woke up the same as any other day and got on the bus to go school. I went to my first period at 9:15 not knowing of anything that had happened. It was in second period class when i walked in and saw that the television was on. Then I looked closer on the television and saw the World Trade Center towers in flames.
I asked my friend what had happened and he said the World Trade Center had been hit by two commercial airplanes. I was shocked by this and I asked, "Who would do something like this?" "Terrorists", said my friend. From that point on everything seemed to blur out and I didn't really think about anything at all. It was a sad and silent time.
Later on that day some of my friends and I were out on the field for P.E. One by one our friends were getting picked up by their parents to go home. We heard a plane go overhead and I will remember that plane because the sound seemed to go on forever. I knew this day would change the lives of millions.
