I heard about what happened on 9-11 when I was getting ready for school. My dad called and told us about the first plane hitting. So I turned the t.v. right on. No one knew it was an attack on America. Everyone was just saying "what a horrible accident." Then I was watching and I saw the second plane hit. I couldn't believe it. I was late for school that day because I wanted to keep watching. I checked into school around 10:45 or so. It was 3rd period. Mr. Patrick let us watch some of what was going on, but not for that long. All of my friends were asking me what was going on, they knew I had watched it all. Most of them didn't believe me, then Mr. Patrick told them I was right and he turned it on again. Once I got home I just had to watch it. Every channel had it on.
