911DA Story: Story

September 11, 2001 was one of the most horrifying days in the United States history. On this day I was at Northmont High School in Clayton, Ohio. At the timesof the attackes on the World Trade Center, I was in my second peroid class, Biology, but the I didn't find out about it until third period English. When I first walked into the classroom the TV was on showing people screaming and running when they saw the first plane crash into the first tower. At first I didn't think it was true because I didn't think someone would really crash a plane into a bulding. But then I saw the secould plane go in to the second tower. Then I knew it was real. Later on that day, I heardthat another plane had crashed into the Pentagon. Later both towers collapsed, and a fourth plane crashed in western Pennsylvania. At that point I was getting scared because I didn't know what was going to happen next. In my opinion, I think the hereos are the fire fighters, policemen, and everyone else who tried to help people fet out of the towers and Pentgon. They wanted to save as many lives as possible knowing that maybe they could loss there's as well.
