My story: September 11th happened,but what could I say and do,I'm a kid in school just watching it happen. I remember watching it on the news and just sitting there trying to handle what was coming in. People had no idea what would happen after the first airplane struck. I had no idea,I watched in terror wondering what was to happen next,I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the next airplane strike. My heart sank w/ the rest of the people in New York.
I saw the towers fall along w/ everyone else who was watching.The towers fell,the people,covered w/ all the dirst,ash,and other parts of the towers on them.It was like opening a 2 thousand year old tomb.My class were almost in tears,mostly in shock.I couldn't help because I wasn't old enough nor was I in New York.My class could not speak the rest of the day,and if they did,September 11th was the only thing on their mind,they couldn't help it,neither could I asking myself why could this have happened,what was the purpose.Osama Bin Laden was number one on my hit list but I couldn't have done anything to him. People of the United Sates came together,friends and families,friends and enemies.My thoughts and best wishes goes to the victims and the families of victims to the people of the September 11th attack
