When I first heared the news about 9/11 I was confused. I was at home and i had just woken up. When i had started to eat breakfast my mom had told me something bad had happened in New York this morning. At first i hadn't paid any attention to her but when i got to school everybody had been talking about 2 airplains and 2 buildings and we recieved a letter from our principal telling us not to be worried.I still didnt understand after that, It was horrable. When i got home my mom told me about it and explained it in depth she had told me it was like the bombing that happened in oklahoma city but 100s of times worse. the only reason i knew about the bombing in oklahoma was because my dad was in oklahoma city the same time the bombing happened. When my mom had finished explainig i had felt soooo bad for the people that me and my friends had wrote letters to the people who were hurt and my teacher mailed them for us. still today i don't exactly know what happened being all the way from there.
