911DA Story: Story

really i was in class when it happened, but i first heard about it right after i closed my locker and two people on the other side of the lockers were talkin about something. At first i didn't believe them because all I heard was plane, and the World Trade Center. I was a little excited with emotions and went straight to my first period class in which we had a test that day. The class was mmp which is like a sub teen teaching class. I think i failed the test which everyone finished in ooo i would say 45 seconds. We had a t.v. on and the school didn't want anyone to because it was amatuer footage and as you know anything can happen such as a second plane crashing into the South Tower. I didn't see the first plane hit, but I did watch as the second split the South Tower like a first class sgrt. in battle. It was very astontatious and i couldn't say anything or move, but my eyes kept on the t.v. ever so tightly. I am not mad or frustrated that I watched in the slightest bit. History it was and I was goin to see it. It was hard to sink in that an unstopable nation was waken up from it's sleep, the sleeping giant (cliche, I know). That is pretty much all i remember because I was pretty much in a daze from the impact of it.
