1.]How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience.

I had just watched the Lynnhaven Middle School bus leave at approximately 8:25 AM, and I sat down to watch "Good Morning America". At approximately ten minutes to nine o'clock they announced that a small plane had hit The World Trade Center. They planned the cameras to view The World Trade Center buildings smoke was billowing out of one of them. I just sat there and stared at the T.V. in disbelief. Shortly after there i watched a second plane hit the second tower. I continued to watch T.V. all day long as planes hit the Pentagon and in Pennsyvania.
