Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My name is Holly Cavanaugh and I am a freshman at Cleveland State. I was a junior in H.S. when the 9/11 tragedy occured. I was sitting in French class when the planes struck the two towers. The Senior Social studies teacher at my High School came in and told our French teacher that two planes had struck the World Trade Center towers. At first, we laughed and said, "Oh, he's just teasing us." But as I got up to go deliver a message to the office, I walked in and they had on the televison images of the burning towers. I could not believe my eyes. I walked back in and said, "it's true. The WTC towers have been hit and they're on fire from the jet fuel!" As the bell rang, we all rushed to our next classes and immediately everyone turned on the TV's. It was ten minutes into the next period when I saw the south tower collaspe. I lost it, opened the door that led to the outside and screamed with anger. But then I heard a low rumble. I looked up, and saw a plane heading towards Cleveland, but it was low for it to just be passing by. And I mean, it wasn't a small plane that we see land at Geauga county Airport every now and then. This was a JET-LINER. I stood there and thought, and I shook my head "No." I went back inside, and I saw the North Tower fall, and I screamed again. However, we all heard a low rumble again and looked outside. That plane was back. We all looked at each other and we were like, "Uh oh." We would then learn, twenty minutes later, that plane was Flight 93, the plane that crashed in a PA field. I will never forget that day. Ever. Every time I flip channels and I see on program on Discovery or some other channel that talks about it, mental images of those towers burning flash into my mind. I truly believe though, that after this, you could tell that everyone in America became more proud of our Nation that before.
