I was in the middle of my medical class. My friends birthday was that day. We all just got done telling her happy birthday and our teacher was trying to get us to sing (but we didn't). The teacher across the hall came running over yelling "Diana! Diana! turn on the TV! Hurry up! Turn it on!" She kind of freaked us out, but we got the TV on and not even a minute later we were a witness to the second crash. We were confused about what was going on until we seen that. All of us sat there in shock. our mouths were wide and our eyes even bigger. we couldn't beleave what we just seen. I remember a tear running down my face into the crack of my lips. I felt as thow my stomic was on fire with the rage I felt towared these people who were doing this. It was all confussing and over whelming. I was scared and angered all at the same time. I didn't know what to do. i didn't know if i should cry, scream, sitt there or all of the above. I ended up sitting there with tears ocasonaly running down my face. there was nothing else for me to do. I truly wish there was something i could have done.
