I was in school on September 11, 20001. I was in my second period class and my teacher was absent so we had a diffrent teacher she told us that she herd on the radio that the Wolrd Trade Center was hit by two aircrafts. During Lunch I went to the security desk and they had the radio on and I herd that the World Trade Center was hit by two plains. After that I decided to walk around the ground floor and seen a Televison on but it was a spanish channel and it was on mute I couldn't understand what they were saying then they showed the footage of the smoke from the World Trade Center. I walked to the front door and seen students leaving with there parents because they were worried. After lunch they told us to all go to the office if we lived in a certin area of Queens. So I went to the office and they told us that we had to walk home with all the people that lived close to where I live and we all walked home. I got home and looked out my window and saw smoke by the World Trade Center once stood. About a half hour later my mom came home and hung out till my dad got home. We were worried about how he would get home then we found out when he got home he walked over the 59th Street bridge. We watched televsion and saw tower seven colapse right before our eyes. Two hous later I went to bed and so did my parents. This day is a day that will live in infamy just like Pearl Harbor.
