Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Joel Babcock Global studies 5/29/02 Final project 9/11 September 11, 2001 It was a normal sunny Tuesday in Barker, New York. I was in school in my second period class, which is Global Studies. We were learning about the Taliban and Afghanistan. A little bit into class another teacher came into our class and told us to turn on the television. There was a fire in one of the Twin Towers. My teacher, Mrs. Capen stopped class to watch the television. All of a sudden we saw a plane fly directly into the second twin tower. Then the news started saying that a plane may have crashed into the first tower and that's what started the fire. At first I thought it was fake because the teacher started saying that it might be the people she had just taught us about. We watched the television until the bell rang, then we all went to our next class. By then I figured it was real because every one was talking about it. I remembered that my sister was supposed to come back from vacation from California and fly in to New York where this was all happening. I was scared and hoped she was okay. My next class was gym and we started watching the events until we were all ready to go out side to play football. I played football, which kept my mind off the terrible news, and then came back into the school and watched the news. I saw the towers were still on fire. Then the first tower collapsed! It was gone! The bell rang so I went to my next class. In the halls there was a lot of talk about the twin towers. When I got in to my next class, Introduction to Occupations, we watched the news some more and then the second tower collapsed. There was a big hole in the city where two of the tallest buildings once were. The teacher turned off the television and we started class. At the end of class we turned the television back on and saw that the Pentagon was hit. Later in the day I found out it was a terrorist attack organized from the terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden who was associated with the Taliban. I couldn't believe that a fire in the buildings made them collapse. When I got home I found out my uncle was working in the Pentagon when this took place. He was fine though. I think I am lucky, in a sad way that I got to see this historic event all live on the television because this was an act of war on American soil. It was bigger than Pearl Harbor and affected many more people. It was a day I'll never forget and one the world will never forget.
