911DA Story: Story

Well on one of my only 2 days to sleep in during the week I woke up to my neighbor coming in and was like "get up! get up man! look whats going down!" i like peeked up and was like "waaaaaa?"

He flipped onthe TV and it didn't matter what channel popped up, it had this event on. I woke up that morning to the sight of the world trade center and pentagon on fire by then I was up and we were all watching the news. Shortly after I woke up I watched the first tower fall Live on TV and was in awe. I couldn't really believe what was happening. It was kind of numbing my brain cause it didn't hit me until later that day the capacity of what happened. It was kind of like going to a movie but not really thinking about it until after.
