Terrorist Attack On America
Many things changed on 9/11/01 when we were attacked by the Al Queda. That horrifying day when nothing went well. The twin towers in New York fell, a part of the pentagon destroyed and a plane crash about 100 miles outside Pittsburgh.
That day went to school like any other day but this day would be like any other day. In math class that day which was third period I remember someone came over the intercom and said there was an attack on the world trade center in New York and an attack on the pentagon in Washington DC. That day I remember the teachers having the internet on and in science there was a clip of the towers falling but was hard to make out.
When I went home that day my mom was already home from work and I asked why she was home so early. She told me that her work sent all the workers home. That?s when I started to realize it was a big deal. Over dinner that night we described how we felt and how we could believe that something this would happen. Then for like the next week in school I don?t remember learning that much well what was supposed to be on the agenda. We talked about what had happened and if you new anybody that was evolved. Then for then next week I think I only watched the news 24/7.
I think everybody was affected one way or another even if they didn?t even know anybody that was killed. I know that I felt sorry for all the victims and their families and so did the rest of America.
Now with the one year aneversery I thought of all the victims and what happened on 9-11. I know that I will not forget the attacks on America. Like the president said in a speech after the bombing of Pearl Harbor this day will live infany, and longer then that!
