911DA Story: Story

I was talking on the phone when a friend beeped in and told me to turn on the television. She said that a plane had hit a building in New York. I said "What?"
I hurriedly turned on the set and everything was confusing at first. All i could think was what a tragic accident it was. when the second plane hit and it came to light that we were under attack, i was furious and afraid. I wanted to do something but at the same time i felt incredibly powerless. How this kind of thing happen? As the news unfolded, i clung to my family and prayed for those that lost their lives.I hope we never endure anything so tragic again. Our eyes are open now and the American spirit has been reawakened.
