It was my junior year in high school. I was walking to school that day. it was 7:30am central time, the time when the first plane it the first tower. To me it was just like any other day. i went through most of the morning with out realizing what happnen. well I went to advisment on that day and my teacher had the radio on. and i heard all these rumors that the world trade center had been bombed. i dont think much of it at first cause it was bombed in 93. but then my teaceher came back in the room(she was on the crises team at our school) and she told me what happen. she said in her exact words. "Foks, I dont know if you ya'll heard this or not but 2 planes have been hijacked and and crashed in to the World Trade Center in New York, both Towers have collasped, there is a student in the middle school whos father works in the world trade center, and he is fine". So, I made my way to my third hour biology class and my teacher had fox news on. and my firs image of New York was horrible there was this huge cloud of black heavy smoke over the the city, almost as if the city was completely destroyed, and i watched it ever sents. today is 4/30/2003 and i am now a senior.
