On that morning I was watching TV and couldn't believe my eyes. I have never saw something so horrifiying. All that kept running through my mind is that it's a high building and how will all those people get out? How will they put out that fire? Not soon after did the second plane hit and then you knew it was an act of terrorism.I saw the first tower collapse and I immediately ran to my son's school and brought him home. Everyone around me was crying and I can't imagine if I was feeling so upset and didn't know anyone, how were these other people feeling that did know people that were trapped. It was horrible to then come home to find out the other tower had collapsed too. I can't describe in words what I was and am still feeling. There were so many victims and it hurts so much to think of their last moment and how they were trying so hard to get out. I have watched shows after shows on this tragedy and still get so upset that I know this is something that has made us stronger but also something you never get over or ever forget. On that day their were many heros. The victims who worked in those building were hereos. The FDNY, PAPD, NYCPD were heros too. All the volunteers were heros too. All of these people lost their lives doing what they do, working. Just as it was the job of the people who worked in those buildings it was also the job of the depts who tryed to rescue them. They are all heros. Many kids lost their parent or parents. Many woman gave birth to children who will never see their fathers. All I know that day everyone in the world lost something but also gained the strength to try to go on in their lives. Like I said I didn't lose anyone I knew but I feel for all of the victims family's that now must go on without part of their family. God Bless America. God Bless all the family's who have lost somoen due to this tragedy.

Sincerely ,
Crystal Fusaro
