It started out like any other day. When I finished my shower, and walked up front, my mom told me that a plane had crashed into one of the World Trade Centers. I had not heard of them, and asked several questions about them. The phone rang, and she went out front to get somthing out of the car when the second plane hit the second tower. I went running outside to tell my mom what had happened. She was talking to a neighbor when I interrupted. Mom, I yelled, a plane just hit the other building. The people on the T.V. say that we are being attacked by terriorist. She turned around and said that they were speculating, and that it probably wasn't true. I went back inside to see what else happened, and saw a plane had crashed into the Pentagon. Later I saw that the plane that crashed on the way to the White House. All the things made me very nervous. Later that afternoon, I remember my mom saying, "We need to get a gun. There is a good chance that somthing will happen during the night, and we need to be prepared." We never got a gun, but I will never forget what happened this day.
