911DA Story: Story

We got a call from one of our friends to turn on the T.V. As we did this we saw one of the buildings on fire and then we saw the second plane hit. I watched in horror as we saw this unfold. I thought I was looking at an action film but it was actually happening. As soon as we saw this we went over to my moms house. It is the worst I had ever witnessed in my life. We watched the telvision all day long. I knew that after this everyones life was going to be different. Everthing that everyone knew was going to be changed forever. I was so angry and I couldn't cry because I was in shock and disbelief but when I came to terms with what had happened I cried. I cried for everyone that had lost somebody in the attacks. Even though I didn't know any one who died it still hurt to know that many people died for no good reason. Many innocent people died for nothing. I hope that now everyone will take time to share their time with their loved ones.
