What i remember on that day isn't a lot, but enough to tell what happend. It was my 4th hour of the day in 8th grade, and i went into that class just expecting another noisy day as always. Then him being the US History teacher and always having the tv on, he already knew what was happening. (Now at this point in life, i didn't know what the world trade centers were or what they were used for so i was just confused about what was going on.)
When we started watching the second towers wasn't hit yet, it was right after the first one had gotten hit. When i asked my friends what the Trade Centers were, i was more confused about what was going on, like why somone would want to do this? Also, it wasn't until later i really know how many could've died and how many that did die. The whole class was silent while watching the news. (This was the only time i ever saw the whole class not talking, but just looking at one thing, the teacher never ever told them to stop talking eighter.)
While we were watching the class saw a reporter standing inside the pentagon tlkaing to people about the tragedy and there was a loud and shaking Boom. They didn't know what it was, but they all still evacuated the building. Then somone taped a shot from outside of the pentagon and it showed it in flames. That day i wondered and still do, why would someone do this to our country. Why would lives be given to take more, there is no increase into what you are doing. They only thing what you have done is make our country stronger then you ever could've thought. I hope that nothing ever happens in this country like this ever again.
