On 9-11 I was at school. Everything was normal, but then the kids started talking agout a plane and a building in New York. I thought maybe a small plane just hit a small building.When I went home for lunch and I turned on the TV, I saw it. The plane hitting the World Trade Center. Then another hit the south tower.Maybe twenty minutes later the north tower collapsed and that's about when I went back to school. Then in Mrs. Cano's math classall we did was talk about this. Then someone told me that the south tower had collapsed. I was in shock knowing that maybe thousands had died.
After school I was at home watching it all. They thought the death toll was between 4 to 5 thousand. I didn't believe it. Then, a few days later they found out who was behind this terrorist attack. It was Osama Bin Laden. After I found this out I couldn't sleep. It was the worst thing I've seen in all my life.
