911DA Story: Story
On September 11th I was at school just walking into Mr. Bellonte?s English Class. I walked in and saw everyone mouths open, staring hard at the television. I looked up and saw 2 giant buildings smoking. My jaw dropped and I looked around thinking it was a joke or a movie that my teacher had put on for us to watch for class. Then I asked my friend Chris Poss what happened, he said that the Trade Centers had been crushed by a plane. Now I thought at first that he was joking but then my teacher informed me that it wasn?t. My heart sank, I though for sure this was going to start WWIII.
The things I saw that day will be imbedded in my mind until the day I die. The Pentagon, also became a target. Thousands of innocent died. Fire Fighters trying to save lives suffered the same fate too.
My life has been changed forever, I wish that Bin Laden would have reconsidered his decision. Even though I lost no one in the accident, that doesn?t mean that I don?t feel for other peoples losses. I now look out at the stars and wonder if it?s a satellite or a mega ton warhead flying across the sky. President George Bush has been trying pretty hard to put everything back in order. I understand that George Bush has put at least 10 billion dollars in funds to catch Bin Laden but we haven?t caught him yet which is beyond belief. That should have been more then enough money to catch one man. If not we should have spent the money on weapons powerful enough to blow him out of his desert home land but weak enough not to effect too much of Afghanistan. This man is very well dangerous and I think it would be smart to catch him dead or alive. He has killed over two thousand people, and we shouldn?t stand for that.
Now that it is May 28th 2002 I think things have calmed down a lot since the bombing. I believe that we should live our normal lives with our heads up and without fear. He has done his worst and he will never get the chance to do anything like that stunt he pulled on 9/11. Security has been tightened ten fold and there is a lot more suspicion with travelers. People have become very prejudice towards Arabian people. Its quite disturbing how people could just go and hurt innocent people.
In conclusion I would like to say that I feel for the losses of all those people and that I felt the pain and anguish that the families felt when they know they are missing. If I could I would go back and turn everything around that happened on September 11th.
