I am 14 yrs old I didnt go to school that day because I didnt feel good. I was watching tv when I thought I heard a small boom, I thought it was my ear because I had an ear infection. After I heard that I felt I needed fresh air. I went on the roof and looked in the direction of the towers and saw a horrible sight. I saw smoke billowing out of the north tower I couldnt believe. I sat ther watching a few minutes later out of the corner of my eye I saw the second plane. I watched it hit the south tower. I was blown away by what I saw. When the towers collapsed I cried, I felt so bad for the people and their families, but I also felt lucky I had mine.
