911DA Story: Story

on september 11 2001 i was in the tower visiting my uncle that worked in one of the last floors. i was going on my leave from the army. i was waiting for the elevator when all of a sudden the building shook real hard and all the power went out. i heard everyone screaming as pieces of the roof fell on top of everyone. i, as well as everyone else in the bottom floors ran outside. we looked up and and saw the building in flames. the first thing i though was "what a horrible plane accident" but as i stood there lookig at the building in shock i saw the second plane hit the other tower and then what came to my head was:"oh my god these are terrorists".as for my self i knew the towers couldnt stay up so i started to run and forgot that my car was next to the towers. i ran so fast but the dust caught up with me and everyone else that was running next to me. well that is all that i have to say. ***DAVID GARCIA~R.I.P.***
