Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was watching the Today Show as I did every morning and getting my children ready for school and myself ready for work when the first plane hit. I heard them say that they didn't know what had happened, but they were going live to the site. Then I watched with millions of others as the second plane came into view and slammed into the second tower. It seemed unreal, as if it were a scene in a movie. I watched the tv all morning to keep up with what was happening in New York and heard about the other two planes crashing (the one in Pennsylvania and the other into the Pentagon). I went to work in a daze and there my coworkers and I watched tv and listened to the radio to get the lastest news. My coworkers had relatives in New York and were frantically trying to contact them and make sure they were alright. I kept thinking that this ordeal could have been avoided if the US government wasn't so smug and didn't believe that no one would dare attack us in our own country. Also, I wondered what would happened to the families of the victims that were of color? No one was talking about the victims that worked the minimum wage jobs or the minority victims. The media only focused on the white victims or the corporate victims. Even in the midst of a national tragedy we were still being excluded except in the number of deaths. There we were equal. I know that most people who write in will say that I am being unamerican by saying what I have, but I know what I felt then and still feel now. That this country has never been fair to people of color and that 9/11 did not change that fact. Also, I strongly believe that unless the US pressures Israel to change its policy towards the Palestinians and gives them the land that they want to build their own nation, 9/11 will happen again and be even more devestating.
