When I witnessed 9/11 I was just walking in my math class where every one was watching the TV. I saw how the second plane hit the other tower and you could see people running for there lives. And others were trying to get away from the horror by jumping out the windows. The streets looked like a whole sheet of snow just laid on the ground. After a few minutes the first tower was starting to shake. And all of a sudden a huge tower of ashes started covering everything in its way. Tan no longer than two minutes the second tower started falling. Every one was panicking. After wards there was news that over 5,000 people were dead. But some of the number kept getting bigger and smaller.

I didnt really changed that much but in a way I am more patriotic. I started to watch the news more often and wonder every day when the person who conducted this would be caught. In a way I started to be more cautious when I go to airports and the big sites that I visit. And I just think of all the people that lost so many loved ones. I dont think that a lot of people could put themselves in their situation.

I think everything should be remembered because so many people lost their lives for no reason. And some tried to help on the planes and most are considered heroes. It should not be forgotten that 9/11 was the day when everybody changed and we all came together.
