It was about 11:00pm here in Australia and I was in bed just laying there when my grandfather came in and said there had been an accident on a one of the trade centres. As i was walking out of my bedroom i seen the second plane hit the other tower..I was 10 at the time and wasn't really sure what was going on until my grandfather explained what a terrorist attack was and wat was going on. I sat there while my grandparents went next door and got my mum up out of bed and she came in. We sat there and you could see the first trade centre starting to wobble and then we knew that it would collapse. We then seen fire fighters hugging each other. After a while we seen the first tower collapse and we all stated crying. I cant really remember much more but i do remember the second tower collapsing. We finally turned the tv off at about 3 in the morning. I then had the next day off because i only got a couple of hours sleep but i was up at about 7:30am watching it. When my brother woke up at about 6 he turned the tv on to watch 'cheeze tv' ( a cartoon show) but it obviously wasn't on because of what happend. I will never foget that day as long as I live.
