911DA Story: Story

We were in second period and the news had just came to us. We were all in shock and it scared most of us. Everyone was in panic and no one knew what to do. People were getting worry about family that was downtown or family that lived in those areas. If someone at that time were to be visiting and then they were in it, it would crush everyone to hear about it. The principal said that we couldnt watch the t.v. to see what was going on, even though we are old enough to take responsibility for our actions. Everyone had different assumtions about what had happened. THen finally the next plane had hit and we reaized it wasn's an accident. When I got home my mother was sitting in the front room waiting for me. She told me that they had to evacuate the building that my mother works at because it was across the street from the Sears Tower. The paranoia everyone felt finally led out of control and no one felt safe anymore. The panic spread around the United States. Everyone wanted to get revenge on the evil behind the plane crashes, Osama bin Laden. Even though there was already evil in the world, this put America over the top. We still seek revenge on that bad, evil, self-centered animal that calls himself a man. I spread the piece. Good night.
