I was at school in my biology class. When I was entering class, I saw the television was on. I did not know why but I realized everyone was watching it. I thought my classmates were watching the morning shows but then I saw a tower with an airplane letting out alot of smoke. I did not know what was going on at the time because I don't have time to watch morning television. My teacher told us why the tv was on and what is happening in the world.Immediately I thought of people I knew that were going to leave to go somewhere on vacation or business trip. No one in my family went anywhere that day on an airplane. When I heard that people died, I felt very sad because that was a very large tower and alot of innocent people were in there. Then I heard that the other tower was hit and the Pentagon. It probably did not affect me that much as other people, but I did know one student's father who died that day. I also heard about my classmates friend's father was supposed to fly one of the planes but that day he was sick so he didn't. He was very fortunate because that one day he took off a day from his job, he is still alive. I dislike Al Qaeda and Osama BinLaden with passion because they killed innocent lives for no reason at all.A year later and we're all affected by it...
