911DA Story: Story
I was in my third hour class. I think it was chemistry. I am a junior in Omaha nebraska. We were sitting in class when the principal came over the intercom to tell up that we were being bombed. Everyone began to joke around about it. Someone even said it was the beginning of WW3 and that it was the Russians. No one knew the severity of the matter.
My fourth hour class all we did was watch the news. My english teacher cried and so did some of the other students. I was devastated. My best freind's mom came to take him out of school. You see we live by one of the biggest air force bases are. (Epply). The president was said to be hiding out in our air force base so naturally everyone panicked and thought that Omaha would be bombed next. I was so scared. I wanted to call my mom but the lines to the pay phone were to long. I went home and hugged my mom tightly.
I am so lucky. SO many people lost loved ones on that day and I am still to this day scared to walk outside. I fear that it may happen again. Will we be ready?
