I was sitting in class when the principle came over the announcements and told us that
a plane had just hit one of the World trade towers. It came as an immediate shock and i thought to myself
how could this happen. At that point i was still trying to figure out what the world trade center was because i had always
called them the twin towers not the world trade center. Then i remeber trying to go on the internet and see pictures of
what had really occured. When i finally saw pictures i was completely amazed at the sight that greeted my eyes. As i looked at the
huge hole in the top of the tower with smoke pouring out i thought how could you fly a plane into a building.
It only got worse as the day went on because then we heard about the other tower being hit and then they collapsed
and as the news became more and more grief i became emotional.
IT was a terrible day indeed and i hope it will never happen again for the sake of our country.
