Last night I watched some of the footage from the September 11th terrorist attack on our World Trade towers one and two in NYC. I remember watching it live on the TV in our classroom at school that terrifying day. The whole class grew silent and no one talked for the rest of the period. We all watched the screen in awe as they showed the first and second plane hit the towers. In all my life I don't think I will see anything quite like what I saw that day. Watching people's reactions that were in New York City as it took place was unbearable. Everyone just kind of stood there in a loss for words. People running the streets holding up signs with their loved ones names on it and shouting out their names in a hope that they would have gotten out in time was grieving. The hurt all the families and friends of these innocent Americans are going through must be ridiculously painful. Watching people dive from 80 floors up in the towers and hearing the phone conversations of loved ones lasted words to a family member or friend was completing breathtaking and hurtful. I can't imagine the pain the all must be going though. Just watching the footage the week after 9/11 made be break down and cry. Today 9/11/02, our school did a Remembrance Memorial for all the innocent people who died that horrible day. Which are Men, Women, Pilots, Police Men, and Firefighters including all of the families that had to deal with the loss of a loved one. I hope that are Nation will not have to go something this grieving ever again, and I hope this helped us to rise up and stand for our Nation and be proud to be an AMERICAN.
