Title A name given to the resource September 11 Digital Archive Stories Description An account of the resource This collection is the bulk of the archive, representing the reactions and experiences of thousands of individuals beginning in 2002. 911DA Story 911DA Story: Story Tell us about what you did, saw, or heard on September 11th. Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: September 11th It all happened with a blink of an eye. Once the Twin Towers stood, now they are gone. There were two passenger planes that were hijacked and their target was the World Trade Center. The planes hit the towers at approximately 8:45 and 9:02 am. This dramatic event was later called "September 11th" because the terrorist attacks happened on that day. This day will be remembered in people's lives and generations to come. It was a terrifying moment for all Americans. I was in Earth Science class at Barker High School when this event happened. Our class heard about the news from a nearby teacher who came in and told us a plane had hit the World Trade Center buildings. So our teacher turned on the television, the television kept showing the 2nd plane hitting the north building of the trade center. Then they showed another plane crashing into the Pentagon. While showing the Pentagon attack on the bottom of the screen it said there was an evacuation in the White house. Then when I went to Global Studies class our teacher Mrs. Capen had just finished a lesson the day before on the life in Afghanistan and how the woman and children were treated as well as the Taliban. All I have to say is this was a disgusting and sick idea. Osama Bin laden is in the same boat as Timothy McVeigh the Oklahoma City bomber. The same thing that happened to McVeigh is going to happen to Osama as soon as we catch him. People are still mourning a loss of a relative or just a really close friend. America will recover with a lot more strength and people will have high integrity. I saw the north tower fall and there were people running, ash and dust along with papers flying through the air. People just barely got out and some of them did not make it out. There were fireman and policeman-helping people that either got cut and bleeding, burnt severely or were caked with dust and ash. The clean up is just finishing now 9 months later. After they found people, they buried them with American flags. There were hardly any survivors. Some of the people were in the elevators and on stairwells. People on the planes made calls to their loved ones telling them goodbye and that their plane was hijacked. Also there were people in the buildings making calls telling to their families and shouting to get the attention of the fireman. This event has affected me a lot by seeing people literally taking their life knowing that they were probably going to die anyway. Also people making calls to their families and telling them goodbye forever. It made me appreciate my life and my family more than I did before.
