I was in my English class waiting for out teacher because she was late. She was always on time so we all knew something was up. When she arrive she told us a plane had hit the world trade center. All of us were shocked as we turned on CNN and heard reporters speaking of the crash. Minutes after we turned on the television we witnessed the second plane crash. Then a reporter went to the Pentagon to interview someone there. We heard a man speak about whether he though it was a terrorist attack or not and then we heard screaming and a loud noise. The man, still be recorded by the reporter, said that it felt like an earthquake. Everyone still in shock, had their eyes glued to the television set. When class let out the halls were filled with people crying and everyone was sent home. I am very fortunate that I did not lose anyone in the attacks, but some of my friends weren't so lucky.
