How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience.
I witnessed September 11th in many ways. On that day my sister was supposed to fly from Boston to Washington D.C. She was to leave
around 10:00. Luckily,her plane was grounded. Though I did not know until the late afternoun that she was safe. I watched the events
on tv constantly and this day was scary.

Yes, my life has changed. I have always been scared to fly but now I am petrified to fly. I also watch the world news more often for current
events. I also wonder what will hapen in the future because this day may impact the lives of my children. I am glad I was born in the U.S.
