Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: During "Attack on America" I was in school in my second period Physical Education class. No one in that class knew about the World Trade Center Towers had been purposely crashed into. By the time everyone had gotten to their third period class we all knew something was wrong. My class was Global Studies. We were watching the CNN news channel. At first I thought that people were just joking around about the World Trade Towers being hit by airplanes. Then I knew it wasn't a joke when I saw the replay of a plane crash into the first tower. A few minutes later a second plane crashed into the second tower. Another plane crashed into the Pentagon at around 9:28 a.m. It was so weird how everything happened so fast. The first plane crashed into the first World Trade Center Tower at about 8:48 a.m. and everything ended before 11:00 a.m. Everyone in my school was so devastated and felt bad for every person that died working at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. I was afraid that the Power Project or Niagara Falls might be another target. I had hoped nothing too drastic would happen because it could be the start of World War Three. Maybe it could be the start to any war. Also I hoped that we didn't drop a bomb because someone may retaliate against us and it may never end. It is still weird how everything happened all in one day in the matter of only hours. In less than five hours everything went to pieces and people's lives were destroyed as well. I feel so bad for everything that happened. I hope that we find Osama bin Laden and he pays for what he has done. Even though it was not him that crashed airplanes into the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon, he ordered people to do it. I think that it's sad and stupid to kill yourself for your country. In their own way, these terrorists are like the suicide bombers of Palestine. They both were willing to die and kill people for their country. The impact on my life from the attack was great. I learned a lot more about the world. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
