NMAH Story: Story

When I first heard about the terror attacks against the United States, I was at Rapid Run Middle School in Cincinnati Ohio. I can remember my teacher, Mr. Sowders, doing something on his computer, when suddenly he ran out of the room. The other students and I had no clue where he went, but we could tell by the way he left something was wrong. Mr. Sowders cam back a little bit later with Mr. Upchurch, the principal of my school, by his side. He turned on the television and explained to U.S. that there was a plane that had just crashed into the World Trade Center, and about two minutes later, right as I was leaving his class worryied, I saw the second plane crash. I was horrified and confused. My fellow classmates and I went to are lockers as told and went to are next class. I went to Mrs. Cornett's room. Mrs. Cornett tried to continue teaching us but couldn't, so we stoped and had our eyes glued to the T.V. Soon later the plan crashed in the Pennsylvania field. After that I went home and I was very scared and I knew from that day on my life would be changed.
