I was in my zero hour class at Westlake High School. I was in the gym working out when one of my friends. Trip Strickland came in and said that a plane had flown into the world trade center. I thought at first that it was simply an aeronotical accident. Then I went into the locker room and turned on the radio. I then heard that another plane had flown into the WTC. Then I knew that their was something else envolved. As the day went on during all of my classes we listened to the radio and found out about United flight 93, and that a plane flew into the pentagon. I was woried throughout the day and all i could think about was who was resposible for this. That night i didn't have anything on my mind but what had gone on earlier. I watched T.V. non stop for the next 3-5 days. The night of 9/11 i listened to a song by Led Zeppelin called the Imigrant Song. The lyrics showed my emotions perfectly. It was full of hatred for the apposing people and sympathy for my fellow americans. One of the things that stuck out the most in my mind were the endless amount of people showing pictures of their family members praying to get some information about them. You could just tell that all hope was lost. In fact one of my co-workers a tRandall's Grocery Store on Bee Caves and Walsh Tarlton lost his brother. He had previously lived in New York with the rest of his family. His brother worked in one of the towers and was one of many that were killed that day.
