when the terrorist attacks occured on september 11,i was at my house getting ready to go to school, and the tv was on. then i started to change the channels i was going tunning up fast then i see a building on fire and then i think on my mind well, that's a movie and i kept on changing channels and then i stopped on a channel and like in 5 seconds after i had stopped the channel the lady on the news said "we have some news from the last minute then she said the world trade center in manhattan ny had been attacked by a commercial airplane".the images of the tower was on "live", then i saw anothe plane coming to hit the second tower and that's when i thinked that what i just saw in the channel before was not a movie that was real. i realize that the united states was under attack.
