On the day of September 11, 2001 when the two airplanes crashed into the World Trade Centers I was in History class. I thought it was weird sitting in class learning about history and experiencing it at the same time. Right before the end of the period my teacher turned on the news. This was around 9:34. The bell rang at 9:41 and I proceeded to study hall. Through out the whole day I watched the terrible sites over and over.
When I got home my mom asked me if I heard what had happened and then went to work. My little sister got home at four and she was very scared. I must have been zoned out or something because I didn?t hear the sonic boom that my sister heard. Since we live near Wright Patterson Air Force Base airplanes were taking off, two of witch made sonic booms. My sister came running saying someone was bombing us and thing of the sort. Our neighbor made her even more scared by telling her about other things like a fire that was caused by an airplane crash near our house. It was just a fire but my sister believed her.
I work at the Dayton International Airport as a busboy at Max and Erma?s Restaurant. I have to go through security every day and I know that I?m safe and that I will be safe if I ever flew anywhere. So I?m pretty confident that it is safe to fly and probably will.
