I was in school at the time of the attacks. All of a sudden, over the intercom, the pricipal announces that the world trade centers have been struck by terrorists and that all of the teachers need to turn on their televisions. All of us got worried. People, including the teachers, started saying that there was a really good chance we were going to get attacked because we live in the "chemical valley" of West Virginia. The were telling us what to do if we did get attacked. I got super worried when I heard that the pentagon had been attacked because my aunt worked in the part that was attacked. It was two days later when my mind was at rest. I had found out that she had taken the day off to go play golf with her husband. I recently visited ground zero. That brung some tears to my eyes to thing that I was where thousands and probably tens of thousands of people died. This is my 9/11 story. Thanks.
