I witnessed history in science class, and my teacher had to turn on the T.V. to the new channel. I saw one plane hit the top of the World Trade Center and then a second plane hit right into the other Trade Center. All you saw was people jumping out of the buildings to save their lives. when the two planes hit there was a big explosion and there was fire and smoke going every where and they don't want to die. But most people didn't know untill the planes hit and they got cought in the explosion. After we watched the news. my teacher asked if anyone had any serious concerns. A few people asked why we were under attack and he was talking about how it is a terrorist attack. After,when school was over I went home, and turned on my t.v. and found out more than I had before. The news talked about how we are all under attack and about the other bombing in Washington D.C. in the pentagon and they bombed very important documents. I also noticed that people have been more pattiotic and more united.

My life has not really change,I do however feel that the U.S. is more united. I never thought in my life time that we would have a war. I thought we were all done fighting wars and that our world was going to be in peace. But we wern't. No one thought we were going to have another war, so everyone was unprepared.

I think the innocent people and victoms from the World Trade Centers could be remembered,Also, all the heros we had helping us to save lifes to all the innocent people should be deeply remembered. I feel bad for the people that were on the planes and called their families before they died.I think everyone should be remembered,except for the terrorists because they bombed ur U.S.A.
