On the morning of September 11th, I was in my house because the night before my mom had burnt her arm cooking so, she had to go to the emergency room and I had to take of my brother. When she came back from the hospital she turned on the television and she saw when the plane hit the 1st tower, she started calling my name so I could see what was going on. When I saw all this happening I didn't know what to think at first I thought a plane flew into the tower by accident but I was still in shock. I didn't know what to feel it was all just so overwhelming and when my dad came home he said he had seen the explosion from the pentagon. I feel really sad for what happened in NY because so many innocent people went harmed and i've lived in NY for 12 yrs and for them to take a part of our city could never be justified. It was just uncalled for and too bad that we were so vulnerable at that point which made it even worse because we weren't expecting it.
