NMAH Story: Story

I was working in a class room when I was called out to the hall at about 10:00. I was told that an airplane had crashed into one of the twin towers. I ran to the teachers room and watched in horror as I saw the towers crashing to the ground. I learned that it was two planes an not just one. I went back to the class room shaking and upset As time went on that day I learned of more airplanes and that the pentagon had been hit. I was trying not to let the children know but as the day went on parents were picking up their children one after another. and that is when I really got nervous for my own children being alone. and where the next attack was going to hit going to hit. I called home only to find out that two people on the plane were at an aniversary party I had been at the week end before. the rage that went through me double. If only we had known a bit sooner the lives that could have been saved. I only knew these people for a brief moment but their lives and the lives of all that have been hurt by this tragic event will stay with me forever. May peace and freedom reign for all.
