Like any normal day, I was at school and had heard nothing of the September 11th attacks until I had made my way home. Normally, I would go straight past the front room and into the dining room to use the computer, but for no particular reason I decided to turn the telly on in the front room. What I saw was a shock and I did not understand it. An aeroplane flying into the side of the World Trade building? It looked as though it was straight out of an action movie. Slowly I realised it was real as the commentary told of the entire horrific and tragic truth.
