When the planeds crashed into the twin towers that day I was in my science class. Someone came to the door and told the teacher to turn the T.V on and of course she did. She turned it to the news and our first glimpse was that of a plane crashing nto one of the towers. People were gasping and saying "Oh my God." I hadn't actually heard much of the Towers before that. I mean, I knew what they were and all but I never thought of them as something so huge as to be a target by a group of terrorists. I was still however, in a state of awe I guess when I saw them collapse. After the towers it shifted over to the Pentagon and that's when I got worried. My dad had gone to the Pentagon earlier in the day and he was still there when the plane hit it. I was relieved to discover that his business was to be taken care of on the other end of the building. After school we watched it on the news and I wasn't really affected by it after that.
