Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The date 9-11-2001 I woke up at the usual time which is six o,clock in themorning. INstead of going staight to the shower like I normaly do in the morning to wake my self up, something told me to go down stairs. That's when I saw my mom watching the television with a look I never seen her use before. It was a combination of shock and fury on her face. At first I did not reallise what was on the TV. Until I saw one of the Trade centers full of smoke. During this they were not sure if it was a flying accident or terrorism. Looking at the pricture I felt sorry for all the pore souls htat were in the building as well as the souls that were on the plane. Yet with all what I was seeing I was not showing it on my face or my attitude, which really shocked my mother. She felt that I should be Hysterical about what I was seeing just like the way she was acting. Eventually I went to school in my history class with all my fellow students as soon as we entered the class we started watching what I was already wathcing at home. In school people either looked shocked and worried, or calm and cool like the same way I looked at home. Then I saw it in history class dthe second plane crahing straight into the other trade tower, and at that moment I knew that it was a terrorist act. I still looked the same like as though nothing has happened, yet I knew that more information would come. Idiots I said to myself they did all this and they could not even knock one building down with one of our own planes. I was very impressed with the structure of the Twin Towers how they were able to take a direct hit from a plane and still stand. Not knowing that soon the first Twin Tower would soon fall. I thought that this shows more of the Americans strength than it's weekness. Soon I saw the first Tower fell it was like a building was being swallowed up by a giant fire cloud, like hell itself rose from the ground to swallow the hard work of America. I heard many gasps from all my fellow students, many of which were the young ladies in the room. I could not blaim them for the way they felt. Even with all that Hd happen I never saw one person in the entire school cry from what they saw. Yet I believe that anger ahd more control over all of us than sorrow did. I was thinking a little bit after that if they took two planes they may have taken more. Almost as soon as I heard this I heard the report about the Pentagon being hit with a plane. That is what had happen to that day. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
