That day I walked into homeroom and my teacher had the television on. Her and another student in the class look really conserned. I remember looking at the television and have them keep replaying over and over again a plane running into the north tower. I though to myself"someone must have been giving horrible directions that day and must feel pretty bad right now." my teacher felt the same way. She was telling us that their was a chance that it would have been a terrioist attack, but that no one was certain. Then about 30 seconds before the bell was about to ring I was watching the t.v. and one of the television news people said,"oh look here comes a resuce plane", and thats when the second tower was hit. At that time I think all of us new that this wasn't a mistack and that something was horrible wrong. As the day went by the teachers were told not to let the students watch the T.V. in the class romm b/c a few of the stundents were saying things that the world was going to come to an end. That day when I went home to see if I could figure out what else had gone on since the 2 plane crashed, I found out that another plane had crossed into the pentagon and another went into Penn. I was so scared. I thought the sure enough that for a really long time that other freaking things were goign to happen that day. The only problem was we didn't know when or where they were gonna happen.
I was really worried about my cousin in NYC. We never heard from her until a week later. Thankfully she was ok.
When they were giving the numbers for the amount of poeple who were missing, I was horrified. I kept saying to myself,"why would someone do this to america??, Who would want to do soemthing like this?? I now know these answers and to this day it still makes my quiver when i think about it.
