It was freshman year at West Springfield HS. I was in my 4th period english class when anonucment had come on saying that a plane had crashed into the world trade center. I thought a plane had gotten off course and accidently crashed into the trade center. We didn't actually know what was going on becuase the tv wasn't working in the classroom. I would have never tought that it was a terriost attack but then another plane crashed into the other tower, one more was found crashed into the ground in Penslyvannia and another crashed into the pentagon. I knew that this couldn't be an accident. In the next period business programing we watched tv and we saw the footage of the planes crashing into the buildings. It was very suprising that this nation could be attacked in such a way. Turning a plane into a weapon. The last period on the day was spanish. we also watched tv in that class. Then when i came home i remeber the two towers falling to the ground. It was also when i came home that i remebered that my cousin lived right next to the tower. I wondered if he was alright or not. I got call from him that night saying that he was ok. the next day we wer off from school in remberence.
