"Thow Shall Not Kill" are words from the Bible that should be obayed by everyone, but unfortunatly they are not. On September eleventh of two thausand and one, the two World Trade Centers in New York and the Pentagan here in Virginia were attacked by terrorists. Although we lost two wonderful treasures in our history, the Pentagan remaines standing. What can't be replaced are all of the lives we lost from this incident and those who survived will have to live with the paine inside for the rest of their lives.
I remember it like it was yesterday. It was eleven o'clock am, and I was sitting in English class. I was just a junior in highschool back then. Well, another teacher came in to our class screaming, "oh my God, we are going to die!". My teacher was confused and the whole class stopped talking. The other teacher explained that two airplanes had hit the two World Trade Centers and that foreign countries were bombing us. I was sitting next to a window and I just looked outside because I thought I could see the smoke but offcourse I couldn't because I was in Virginia.
All of the classrooms had television sets and so, the whole school turned on their televisions and watched the news. Our whole class started crying as we saw the buildings collapse. It hurt me a lot because I had just visited New York and I went to the two World Trade Centers not too long before the incident had happened. I was also hurt because I thought of all the help that America gives to these foreign countries and yet, they turn around and kill thousands of inicint lives.
I don't really know the purpose of this incident but I do know that God will punish whoever is responsible for this. I understand that security is geting tighter these days, and that is a good thing because we really can't afford any more incidents like this.
In conclusion, incidents may occur like this one in other countries and people don't make a big deal about them
because it's normal for other countries. Though, for the United States, incidents like this one arn't supposed to happen and that's why it was a big deal in two thausand and one and it will continue to be a big deal in the future.
