I was sitting in my class when the phone rang, my teacher picked it up and his face turned pale. We had been taking notes off the power point. He turned off the powerpoint and turned the t.v. on to the news and we saw the second plane hit. It was horrible, next thing I know kids are being called out of class to go home and my classes are nearly empty. I called my mom and she said to stay in school that I was safer there than any other place. So I remained at school and left at the normal time. When I got home, I turned the t.v. on and watched the news all night and for many days after. I feel touched that people that had no idea what was goign on risked there lives to run into the towers and help people out.
