I was in the 7th grade on Septermber 11, 2001. It was Social Studies and we were learning about what seperates humans from animals. My english teacher ran in and turned on our TV. There it was, the twin towers burning, live on NBC. We went into Math class after next and there we saw firemen on TV, putting out flames in the Pentagon. It wasn't until much later that day, after the towers had fell and the country was in silence that I found out my uncles girlfriend, Bobbi, who was a flight attendant on American Airlines Flight 11, the first plane to hit the World Trade Center. It was erie, because these things always happen to other people, never yourself.
