911DA Story: Story
On September 11th at 10:16 NST I first got word of an attack on the
World Trade Center. As our class worked on stories our principal came on
the P.A. System and asked for complete silence because he had learned of an
imprtant message. He said that an American Airlines flight had been hijacked
and flown into the World Trade Center. This struck me really hard because as we were
notified of this i was writing a story about terrorist. I immediately scraped the story
in respect of the victims and their families. So our class immediatley walked to the
Learning Resource Center were we watched the events of September 11th unfold.
For the remainder of the day we began to hear different stories of what had happen. The remainder
of the day was never the same as usual days. In this time of crisis Newfoundland
really showed the world that we are great people,as many of ther international flights were
redirected to St.John's and Gander,and many Newfoundlanders took these people off the planes
and into their homes.
