I fell asleep downstairs with the T.V. on, I woke up to see much to my suprise that a plane was crashing into the world trade center. I thought,"What is CNN foing showing a movie?" Then I rolled over on the couch and tried to go back to sleep. But I couldent get out of my mind the realism of this "movie". I then realived It was not and that I needed to wach all of this. Then the second plane hit and I then thought that this was by no means an accidant. I was horrified to realize terrorists had done this. My parents had been waching this in there bedroom on T.V.So when they came down to tell me I was already informed thanks to trhe fact that I had fallen asleep downstairs and had the T.V. tuned to CNN.

This attack has changed my life becuse now every time I get abord an airplane I wich nothibg wll happed to my family and I. I was supposed to be on a plane that day for my uncles funeral. He had passed away almost two weeks ago. I was really feeling strange becuse for the first little while I thought that we would still go. But when I heard that no planes would be flying that day I had more sorrow added to the much that had already compiled over the last cuple weeks. I was saddend and enraged this day I. Many people died that day, and I never did get to say goodbye to my uncle.

I think the many brave rescuers who rushed to the attacks should be rememberd. They must have known what would happen but they died and should rememberd for this.

No, I am canadian but every canadian flag was at hafe mast for almost a month.
