911DA Story: Story
September 11 was a horrible day. My life was changed a lot, because you think to yourself, ?Are you really safe where you are if you are in danger? All these things come to mind after the planes crashed into the world trade centers, the pentagon, and sommerset, PA. These things definitely scared me a lot. Lots of people lost their lives that day.
When the days started to pass by, I would be afraid when a plane flew over head! I also am not going to attempt to go on to a plane unless I really have to. The reason I wouldn?t want to is because their security systems aren?t really that great. You hear a lot on the news. I especially felt bad when I was reading the news paper and read that a man was arrested by having a gun on a plane, just so he could prove to his wife that the security wasn?t safe for her to go on a plane just yet. But for the love of his wife he was arrested just to show his wife that it wasn?t safe. Even now a year after the tragedy the airlines are still not safe and anyone could probably highjack a plane now that they saw it already happened, because they now that they can get through the airlines security system.
Many people were affected by what happened. I didn?t know anyone that had a family member or someone close to them that was at the WTC, but when going to on the internet, I went on a September 11website. I was looking, sadly, at all the people?s names that have died and the closest person was Jeffery Coale, who lived in Souderton. (ten minutes away from here) and I felt very sad. My family wasn?t really effected other than my mom because she was thinking to herself, what is bob (my dad) was in the WTC. She would be another mom with an unborn baby without a father if he had died there. That made me very sad. Other than that we weren?t really effected we were just sad at the fact that all of those people had died in the tragedy.
I think that our generation was affected, just about what had happened! Otherwise I think we took it good, because at first we were all scattered and scared at what had happened, but then we came together as a country and helped with funds and raised money for the people who lost members of their family in the incident. About a week after the tragedy a lot of people went outside and lit candles for everyone who had lost their lives, or that had loved ones die, and also just for the sadness of what had happened. I was horrified. Basically this was a very sad day for everyone and will be remembered always. Every one lives we changed and they will be for a long time, until we do something about it. (If we ever do)
