Hi my name is John Bernier and I remember clearly where I was when I experienced the events of September 11, 2001. I was then a junior attending Boston College High School,and I was notified in my moring English class. The former principal, Mr. Kameza, spoke over the loud speaker that "two planes had hit the world trade towers in New York at...". First I was relaxed and really did not know what this meant and had no clue that it was a terrorist act. Then a few periods later after hearing mounds of rumors meantime throughout school, I saw the highlights broadcasted on television in my government clas with Mrs. Keogh. I saw video of the planes hitting, then speculation about the Pentagon,then I saw people jumping from the remains of the buildings to escape the flames. I will never forget this experience on my part, and the countless victims that died.
