The first time that I had heard any thing about the trade center was when I first woke up in the morning my mom told me that an airplane had crashed into the south tower and it was on all the news channels. When I first went out to the living room to watch, my sister was already out in the living room watching the trade towers burning. After about a few minutes of watching I saw another airplane coming towards the north tower and slamed into the tower in a huge explosion. That day was a regularly school day except that every classroom had a TV with the news on what had happened to the trade towers and what they were doing to save any one that was caught in the colapse of the trade towers. Only in the afternoon did I hear that a former cross country runners dad was on the first plane that hit the south trade tower. It was very upseting that something like that hit so close to home. That day I just realized how luckey I was and how very unlucky many people were that had died in the colapse. That day I think really touched a lot of people in different ways, some more painful than others. Even though I didn't have any close relatives that died that day it still hit me very hard that people could actully think that it was ok to kill as many people that they did. I think that America has changed but not for the worst but for the better.

no

All the peole that gave there lives. Al the Fire fighters that gave there lives for others. The police that worked with the firemen to get people out of the burning towers. all of the brave employees that gave there lives also to save any injured or tried to open jammed doors.

Yes I did and yes I think that the American flag is a lot more respect. The American flag is now a symbol of what many people gave there lives for.
