When I first heard of the first plane hitting the World Trade Center my first reaction was I thought they attacked the WTC in Downtown Baltimore at the inner harbor. But then I realized it was the one in NYC. The first thought that came through my mind was how and why could anyone do this to the US. That day we got sent home early from school and as soon as I got there I immediately paged my mom and dad to make sure they were alright and then I turned on the TV. I didn't realize how real it was until I saw both towers os the WTC fall to the ground. Then I heard for the first time about the 2 other planes. The one that hit the pentagon and the one that crashed in PA. All day on the radio and on TV there was nothing but media coverage of what happened and to tell you the truth I'm tired of hearing about it. I'm not saying it like I'm glad it happened but for everybody it was a terrible experience and some people just don't like to hear about it over and over again. in conclusion I want to say God bless to families to the people on the planes and in the WTC during this attack. I hope the president of the US is doing everything he can to prvent this from happening to the US again.
