911DA Story: Story

I'm not to sure now how we found out what had happend, I think someone came in and told us to turn on the news. So we did. We were all puzzled until we saw the horrible image of an airplane crashing into the world trade center. We were all stuned as if this was some kind of dream. No one said a word every one was procesing the words that where coming from the televishion, reporters just repeating over and over that a plan just crashed into the world trade center. The pictures of smoke, fire, dibbry, and people were flowing like a river.
I was afraid, shoked, confused, and amazed. At first I didnt understand the impact of what had just happend, then to make it worst another plane flies into the other wowrld trade center building. My thoughts where all jumbled together. I began to cry people in class where beging to cry too. My teacher tried to help but thier wasnt much that he could do.The phone began to ring nonstop, people where being called down to go home, right about that time the news reported that the buildings where falling down, and that 2 other panes had crashed. One into the pentagon and the other in Pennsylvania.
I felt like this was one of those murder, fast past action movies. That it was all just a dream. Until reality actually hit us we all began to talk about relatives friends, and our fellings. The day went by in a haze, every one stoped as if timed stoped all worried confused and most of all scared. I didnt know how to react to such a situation, I was petrafied, I didnt know what to say to anyone, because I didnt know how they felt. No one I knew was apart of it but some how I felt just as much grief as every one els.
