the morning began as any other. the annoying buzz of the alarm clock waking me at 6am. I had a quick shower and rushed to collect my things as my brother Kevin was dawdling in the corridor. My mom had already gone to work and my dad been due to fly on flight 77 that day with my sister Kimberley. My brother and I got the bus to school and I hung round with my friends before going to english class. then the principal came up over telecom. i didnt hear everything but i heard the words plane and crash and immediately grabbed my cell phone. my dad and sister had missed their flight, due to traffic or something, but i am so grateful. I hate the jerks who did this, i could have lost my sister and my dad!
