911DA Story: Story

Where I was at on 9/11

When I saw what happened on September eleventh I was in my second period Study Hall class warching one of the T.V?s. The T.V. was on channel 7, which is our news channel, and it was showing live coverage in New York of what was happening at the time of the attacks. When they showed one of the planes crashing into one of the buildings it looked like something that would be in a movie. When the first plane hit the building it didn?t look real at all. I thought it was a joke or something because I would never think that anyone would do anything like that. When the builking was starting to fall I thought it looked pretty cool seeing a building fall to the ground, but then I thought then it wasn?t that cool because a whole bunch of people died in the buildings and in the airplanes. After that period every teacher in every classroom had their T.V. on in concern to see what was going to happen next.

Sincerely,
William J.Griewahn from Northmont High School
