911DA Story: Story

I will never forget where I was on 9/11/02. In my senior English class we had been watching a movie when a teacher from another room came and whispered something to my teacher. My teacher quickly switched off the movie and turned on the news. Many people where in horror as they watched the towers fall, but me I had no idea what was going on. I still thought my teacher was talking about the movie when she was telling us about the World Trade Centers. The more I watched, the more horrified I became. All I could think about was the people in those planes, and in the buildings. It was the most horrible thing that has have ever happened in my life time! I still can't erase the pictures from my mind, of the survivors faces, and the clouds of death hoovering above New York. That day is a day to be remembered, and I will be able to tell what I saw from that little class room and how it impacted our lives forever. We are Americans and we will finish what they have started!
