Well it was just another day. Kids are yelling at teachers, teachers are yelling at students, nothing really new. So I am in computer class and by word of mouth we are all told as a class that a plane crashed into just some building, you know accidents happen, its not an everyday thing but hey maybe it was foggy or something. Then we hear that a plane crashed into the World Trade Center so we were kind of shocked since that would be a big mistake since they are so big, you dont just like not see the things. Soon after the first plane hit, a second plane hit the other tower, so then we knew something was going on. The rest of the day was a huge frenzy with news and gas surplus and supposed food shortages, so what does a guy do on his own birthday? Well for me I sat home alone in my room and that was my big 17, the alleged happiest day of everyones lives was now tarnished with terrorism. But with all of that, it turned out to be a descent day except for the whole killing spree that was going on.
