I remember watching it on the news and just sitting there trying to handle what was coming in. People had no idea what would happen after the first airplane struck. I had no idea,I watched in terror wondering what was to happen next,I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the next airplane strike. My heart sank w/ the rest of the people in New York. I saw the towers fall along w/ everyone else who was watching.The towers fell,the people,covered w/ all the dirst,ash,and other parts of the towers on them.It was like opening a 2 thousand year old tomb.My class were almost in tears,mostly in shock.I couldn't help because I wasn't old enough nor was I in New York.My class could not speak the rest of the day,and if they did,September 11th was the only thing on their mind,they couldn't help it,neither could I asking myself why could this have happened,what was the purpose.Osama Bin Laden was number one on my hit list but I couldn't have done anything to him. People of the United Sates came together,friends and families,friends and enemies.My thoughts and best wishes goes to the victims and the families of victims to the people of the September 11th attack Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was at work just getting the day started and listening to the Today Show, when the news broke that a plane had hit the WTC. Thinking that it was an accidental plane crash, I listened intently, feeling bad about what had happened. Then a little later I decided to turn on the television across the hall as myself and another employee watch the Trade Center burn, we were shocked to see another plane fly into the 2nd WTC. At that point I knew it was more than an accident. Staying glued to the TV....shortly we heard about about a possible explosion at the Pentagon....as I kept informing the other girls and our Doctor of what was happening..the Fire Whistle in somerset, PA went off...it was chilling. Phone calls started coming into our office about a large jetliner had crashed near Shanksville, PA....we could not possibly believe that it had anything to do with the other events. It did. Shortly our fears were confirmed and sure enough this jetliner was one of the highjacked planes. We could hardly function that day, but we continued to work and listen for news. There was no good news from the crash sight. That was a year ago..and every time I go to the sight I realize this country is made up of so many different types of heros and I thank them all.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: 9/11 On September eleventh I was in the seventh grade at Pennfield Middle School. I was in math class when I heard on the loudspeaker that there had been an attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Nothing more was said that day about what I had heard on the loudspeaker, other than my social studies teacher, Mr. Bannak saying ?someone?s going to be bombed tonight.? When I heard this I didn?t know what to think other than some one had tried to bomb the three places and or walked into them with a gun and caused people to become shaken up. But nothing even close to the magnitude of what had happen that day a year ago had come to my mind. When I got home I did find out what had happened until my mom got home and I saw Peter Jennings on the news that night. The images of what happened that day will never be erased from my mind. Four planes had been deliberately crashed that day. Two planes had crashed into each of the World Trade Center buildings. Another crashed into the Pentagon and lastly another had run aground in Summerset Pennsylvania. These events have shaped this nation and my generation. People came together to help out in many different ways as possible. We became a nation of unity, not just liberty and justice. The president is more popular than ever before due to the events that happened and the correct political moves. I personally support his war on terrorism and hope that we succeed in deterring any future attacks against this nation. The attacks of September eleventh 2001 has changed me in a way I?m not quite sure I can describe. This has made a strong, determined nation out of America and we will succeed in our efforts against terrorism.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I, as everyone else, will never forget that day. I was at work and received a phone call from my mother saying planes had hit the world trade centers and the pentagon. I thought she must have been mistaken. But it was all too true. After hearing reports on the radio someone in the office turned on a television and we witnessed a horror I thought was never possible. The images sent a chill through me like I was frozen. Just thinking of the thousands of people who had died and were going to die just overwhelmed me. Though I didn't lose a loved one in the attacks my heart just sank for all those who had. Watching the images on tv, hearing the reports and seeing graphic pictures via email of people jumping to their deaths is forever in grained in my memory. Though some of my fears have diminished I still have an eerie feeling when I see a plane in the sky or when I think about what a beatiful calm day Sept. 11th began as. Through it all I just have to continue to thank God for his presence that day and everyday because so many more lives could have been lost. But through his grace and mercy and comfort we've managed to make it through this year and we will continue to make it with God's help. I just try to appreciate life more now by spending as much quality time as possible with family and friends and I pray that our country nor any other one will have to go through this ever again. This event in out lives will never be forgotten. America lets continue to be unified not just during this time of war but always.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was a little past 9:00am; there were 8-10 parents in attendance at our schools first PTA meeting for the year. I was the President of the PTA at the time and had just started to tell everyone what a great year we would have. We were so happy that this year was going to be very exciting for the children. Someone?s cell phone rang; she answered it and started to say, "NO NO, IT'S A JOKE, IT CAN'T BE TRUE, OH MY GOD!" Everyone in the room was frozen in time as she told us that two planes hit the Trade Center. I thought my husband had just left Staten Island to go into the city to one of the hospitals. I did not know which one, only that he was at a training course, near the Trade Centers. "I could not start to think about this now" I said to myself. I had to think of what had to be done to help the children and parents of my school. Since most of my parents and students had family or friends that worked there, I told everyone to use the phone in my office to call loved ones. While phone calls were being made I went to the Principal, to see what help she needed. She told me she needed parents to help release the children to their parents who were now coming to the school. Many of the parents live within walking distance from the school. By 12:00 the school was almost empty, only a few children remained, my daughter being one of them. I called my mom and had her pickup Victoria to take her to my sister?s house, so I could try to find my husband. After many hours of calling David's cell phone he picked up. He said he was fine but would not be home until around 10:00pm if he could get home. David told me to pack 2 bags of rescue equipment so that we could go to the site and help with the search and rescue. We both were former Police Department employees. I packed the necessary items we would need to do the job that lay ahead of us. David final got home. We left for the Staten Island Yankee Stadium. That was where the police were waiting to go over to the site. It was also to be an emergency morgue site (fortunately never needed). Since the ball field is just across the harbor from the Trade Center, I could see and smell the devastation of the attack. I will always live with the memory of sitting there that night and watching the fires burn. The quietness of the night, no planes, no pedestrians, no laughter, only the lonely sirens of emergency vehicles and the humming of the generators on several of the refrigerated trailers. My thoughts were many, would there be another attack, where, when, what would I see when I went to the site. I imagined many things but none of it was even close to what I saw in the weeks that followed. By the morning of the 12th a small relief center was started, people were bringing clothes, food, and various supplies to the ball field. A girl named Lynne was taking names and supplies in. She asked me to take over for her; she was going to the site with some nurses. After many hours of logging in police, fire, nurses, doctors, and construction workers, who were taking the ferry to the site, I became the person people looked to for direction and leadership. Over the next few weeks I spent up to 20 hours a day at the relief center. There were over 700 volunteers, who cooked meals for Ground Zero, the Landfill, Police and Fire stations, and the US Army. These people not only cooked meals but made rescue packs for the workers at Ground Zero, (gloves, tee-shirts, respirators, socks, shoes, pants, water, etc.). The rescue workers would send wish lists to us and we would fill the order. If we did not have what they needed, I would get on the phone and call everyone I could think of to fill the orders. I arranged for several golf carts for the transport of food, personnel, and supplies so that the trips on the ferry, to Ground Zero, and various other sites in Lower Manhattan could be made since many of the streets and sidewalks were impassable during the first days. There are so many things I could say about what I saw at Ground Zero, but I would rather focus on the people and the acts of kindness that I experienced. Each person that came though the relief center was special in his or her own way. Like the little boy (5 yrs. old) who wanted to give a pair of leather gloves that he bought with his savings to a firefighter. Or the 90+ women who wanted to help but could not cook, or do paperwork because of her poor eyesight so instead she offered to go to the store and buy staples for me. She was gone for 3 hours. When she came back she said she that did not have a car so she walked to the store and back. The store was over a mile a way. It's these stories that I think of when I remember my days of and after September 11, 2001. I would like to thank all of the people that touched my life.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was working in my office in Li?ge. Around noon I received a sms-message from a friend that there was something completely going wrong in NY. I immediately visited the CNN-website where I saw the first images of the attacked Twin Towers. It was a feeling of unbelief, yes fantasy and fairytale that caught me, but when I saw the Towers fall down, I felt scared and frightened. Brussels, our capital, is seen as the business and political centre of Europe, and I was afraid for another attack over there. I've been to NY once, it was 3 years ago. It was my first trip to the US and I was all by myself. When I walked out of JFK airport, I felt powerful and very alive. It was a wonderful experience and for me it was ans still is the most beautiful and energetic city I ever went to. Although the 11th of September has changed me and my thoughts, I am glad it has never changed my view on NY. Take good care of yourself and your smile!

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My husband and I go on early morning walks along the trail by our home in Plano, Texas. The morning of the 10th many cargo planes were flying low on their approach into Dallas For Worth International Aiport. I remember feeling very fortunate that during my lifetime I had not had to see my father, brother, or a husband go off to war. After my early morning walk on the 11th I recall having very little energy so I had gone back to bed and didn't wake up until almost 10:00 am. I notice my answering machine was full and blinking. There were progressively urgent messages from my husband. I thought it was another layoff until he said " . . . there is a lot going on in the world today, you might want to turn on the t.v." When I did . . . well, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. I feel to my knees, cried and screamed "Oh my GOD! They know not what they do!" Another phone call broke me from the crying and it was two friends wanting to come over. I work from home and am often isolated so I welcomed the opportunity. It was good to have friends with me during that time. One friend, Jane, is a pilot and I felt comforted by her explainations and what her training entailed on forced cockpit entry. I'm a longarm quilter; I finish quilts for people. The quilt I loaded into my machine on the 10th had the popular skyline fabric featured in it. I found the twin towers and outlined them and then simply put the date under the statue of liberty. The customer was very glad I had thought to do that. The thing is I didn't think, I just did it to preserve history. Yesterday, September 11, 2002 I had a beautiful angel quilt that I loaded into my machine. It was of great comfort to quilt it while I listened to the names being read of each victim during the ceremony. I will never forget. Allison C.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I work 3rd shift, this particular morning (9-11)I received a phone call to rush to the hospital, my mother was admitted and was not doing well, leaving work and preceeded enroute to the hospital not having any details and very upset. My mom had deminsion and altizmer disease, with heart disease also. Once I arrived and was told mom was not going to make it, her vital signs were falling, and kidney had begun to shut down. I called all family memebers to let them know what was happening and to rush on to the hospital. Sitting by her side, not leaving for any reasons, I was not aware of what was happening in New York. When the doctors told me to step out I walked to the waiting area, stopped and asked what was going on and was told that a plane had crashed into one of the twin towers. At that moment I was called back to my mother, her condition was drastically deterriating, I sit and prayed and cried, not my mom not realizing that at that same time how many other lives were being taken by evil people. To make it short my mom died when the last plane hit. When I came out again, i was totally shocked to learn there had been 3 planes and how many lives were post. At that moment I went off by my self and cried and prayed for my mom and all the other angels God had with him that day. I feel I have two reasons to always remember 911. My prayers to all those who also lost someone, my mom was sick but so unexpected a pain and lost I can only imagine the pain, God Bless.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My story is different and maybe a little selfish, but it happened. I was at work and heard about the WTC towers. We all tried to get on the Internet to see pictures and just kept saying it was unbelievable. The devastation, the start of the worst disaster this country had seen on it's own ground since the Civil War. My daughter called me from school to find out if I heard what happened. I said yes we were listening to the radio, and checking things out on the Internet. Then my son called and expressed the same thoughts. I left work about noon to take my daughter to the doctor, and thought I had worked everything out with my boss. I got back and had gotten confronted by her as to why I had used my lunch hour and my breaks to take her. I explained that I didn't realize it would be a problem, but apparently it was. I never took breaks prior to then because I had been salaried. Things had switched that Monday. It was the second day of the new policy, so it was still unfamiliar. To make a long story short, by the end of the day, I had been terminated because of this incident (after twelve years of service with this company) and felt devasted. I went home and cried. In the meantime, all the news about the WTC and the Pentagon etc, was going on. I had so many emotions that day. My life had changed and my boss was an idiot with no compassion, yet thousands of people were losing their lives. I guess today, I think back and wish that day would disappear from everyone's life, but it can't. All we can do is move on. I have a new job, and the people most affected by what happened in NY have also moved on. Let us remember, but let's not dwell. It's not healthy nor productive in pursuing future challeges and opportunities. Thank you for allowing me to write my story.

Tell us your story: i was at home with my daughter who was then only 9 months old. i was watching the today show when it was interupted with news of the first crash. as the news went on i was witness to the second crash. then news of the third and fourth crashes was aired and i was terrified. i got on the phone to call my mother and as i heard her voice i cried. i cried because i was sad, happy and also guilty at the fact my mom was still with me when so many families were missing their loved ones. i tried to reach my boyfriend and was unsuccessful. finally the phone rang and it was him. then my heart sank because he told me he was in the hospital. my first thought was another plane crashed in boston but, it ended up being a work related injury. i told him i loved him and his baby girl loved him and we would be waiting for him to come home to us. the main thought that went through my head that fateful morning was...how am i going to raise my baby girl in a world that has total disregard for human life? all i could do was hold my daughter tight, kiss her, and tell her over and over again how much mommy loved her and everything was going to be okay. in reality though i didn't know if anything was ever going to be okay again. when my boyfriend finally arrived home i hugged him and kissed him. i told him that i loved him and he said he loved me too. september 11th was an emotionally draining day for me. i morned with the rest of the nation but i tried to keep my composure for my daughter's sake. when it was time for her nap though i just let it all out. for the whole 2 hours my daughter slept i sobbed. there was no need for all of those innocent people to be taken from their families and friends. i hope that they get every last one responsible and punish them to the fullest extent of the law. i want them to know that we are a strong nation who will not live in fear. we will overcome this pain and keep on going because that's all anybody can do, just keep living.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was an ordinary day teaching World Geography. I had completed teaching my first period class and began my planning break. I was grumbling and stressed. Too many papers to grade. It was silent for most of that period. Then the door opened and with it the silence and comfort of an old era flew out the door. Hijackers have crashed in New York! Like a reflex, I grabbed the remote and tuned in to CNN. It was a movie preview of some kind. A plane. A crash. A fireball. For the first time, I think there was a collective mental-emotional tether throughout the nation. We were shocked. The bell rung for third period. I took the roll and replayed what I had just seen in my mind. I imagined myself washing and brushing my teeth. I gave my normal hugs and kisses to my wife and son. I saw the plane as it crashed into my office, never to see my loved ones again. I began to shed a tear and my voice cracked. Oh my God, the horror of it all was beginning to sink in. How should I handle this in the classroom? There's a buzz in the room. They all know. It's live. Tragedy as it happens. They're young but not ignorant. I knew we had to deal with it and so we began a discussion that eventually led to the images on CNN. Septemeber 11 is vivid in our minds and hearts. It is a turning point. It happened. It was real. Now we must deal with the aftermath. How we handle the perpetrators and their supporters is crucial, but not as important as how we handle ourselves. This attack was not only against us, but our way of life, our philosophy. If we begin the journey towards the suppression of democracy and civil rights, we might never get them back. If we engage in prejudice and xenophobia, we may lose our national dignity. If we give in to fear, we may never remember what life was like on September 10, 2001.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was a regular workday at EPA's Crystal City (Gateway 1) offices. People were working on their computers, others were just arriving to start the day. At 8:50 a.m., I received a call from my sister who informed me that a plane had just crashed into one of the World Trade Center Towers in New York. Minutes later she called back to say that another plane had hit the other WTC Tower. I told people in the office and we all gathered around our office television set to watch the news via the local Washington, DC networks. Watching the scenes on TV was horrible, yet still far removed -- it was happening in New York and we were in Crystal City, Virginia. All of sudden, someone came running down the hallway shouting, the Pentagon's been bombed -- smoke is filling the sky -- we're being attacked. We all ran to the windows that face the Pentagon (we're 1/4 mile from the Pentagon)and could see the thick black smoke and debris, pieces of what looked like aluminium foil and paper swirling in the sky right outside our windows. We looked down to the street and saw military personnel who share offices in our complex running over to the Pentagon to assist. Somebody said that they saw a plane flying really low and close to the Pentagon. Then we heard the awful news -- the Pentagon had been hit when a plane deliberately crashed into it. Our offices also border Reagan National Airport, yet we had no idea at that time where the plane had originated. The telephone lines had gone dead by this point, so we didn't wait for the "official" federal government word to leave the building. Senior managers in our office told everyone to get out of the building and go home. Getting out of the building was relatively easy, although traffic was at a gridlock. Knowing shortcuts and "back roads" was helpful as I was able to get over the 14th Street bridge with two of my co-workers without any traffic congestion. The local radio station, WTOP-AM, was reporting that another plane was headed for either the Capitol or the White House, so I had to plan my escape route accordingly. Little did I know that I was committing myself to THREE HOURS of total gridlock on DC streets. The sirens were oppressive and never-ending. No one knew what to do regarding the gridlock on DC streets. The Metropolitan Police Department posted "rookie" officers at intersections and they clearly were out of their league. There was no communication between where one officer was sending traffic to the one at the next intersection sending traffic back where they had just left. Getting out of the City was the WORST nightmare -- even worse than trying to get out of the City in a blizzard. What I went through on September 11, 2001 pales in comparison to those who lost loved ones at either the Pentagon or the World Trade Center Towers. The Nation needs to heal from this "modern-day" Pearl Harbor, and we soon will.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It was September 10th, 2001, 10:00 pm in Virginia. The kids had just gone to bed getting ready for a busy day at highschool. 11:00 rolled around the children were asleep. My heart started to race, I went into the worst panic attack I had ever had! It was awful, I was petrified, and began pacing the floors, As each hour went by, my panic became stronger and stronger, I was uncontrollably crying. I paced every inch of floor in the house all night long over and over. I was really confused because there was nothing wrong, nothing that I knew of... By 7:00 I had woke the children up a few times with my pacing and crying. I had the most awful feeling, and cried when they left to go to school. I had worn myself out pacing and crying all night long, so I layed in bed with the tv on, and began dozing off. Suddenly I awoke, and sat straight up in my bed just to see a plane on the tv crashing into the first tower. I shook my head in hopes I'd wake up and had just had a bad dream. But the news just kept coming. The panic attack that started September 10, 2001 at 11:00 pm instantly became a reality. The world as we knew it was coming to an end. Yet I suddenly became calm, kindof somber, and I turned the tv up so I could hear it all through the house. I began filling water juggs, and gathering candles, blanket, necessity. Then I called the school, checking on the kids, wanting my children at home with me instantly. Ofcourse the school denied all the parents request to send the children home, due to security reasons. So i spent the rest of the day watching the news, calling up home to Washington Dc, where my brother and friends were Firefighters and Paramedics, and police officers. Calling up to New York and New Jersey where my family lived and worked. I had people in both places spread all over. Not being able to reach many people, I finally just dropped to my knees and started praying. Praying for everyone I loved and all the ones I didn't know, Praying that the children would soon get home from school early. All I wanted was to hold them. Finally they arrived home, I think my son 14 at the time thought I would never let go of him. They looked around the house and asked what I had been doing. I wasn't quite sure myself, but I was preparing for something. We talked about all the "What if's" and I knew then the world I had grown up in, the world I was raising my children in as we knew it, was gone forever. A feeling of security we once had, we would never know again. Since then I have used September 11, as a reminder everyday, of the things that are truly important in life, and not just the people that are important to me, but what kind of people we are. We are strong, decent, and bonded together as a nation of survivors. Not one day do my kids leave the house without me telling them I love them. Not a week goes by I don't sit with my son, and talk about his life, and the choices he makes. I constantly remind him, that with love, compassion, and honor, We are the strongest people. That the evil that devasted our nation and the world, that day came from people who were cowards and weak. I am constantly posting things in my computer groups monthly, in memory of September 11, 2001, just as a reminder to those who get caught up in the drama of everyday life, that we need to remember, we need to learn, we need to be the decent people who are strong enough to survive.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: What this day means to me is that we cant just trust anybody anymore. We shouldn't just let anybody come over if they are from somewhere where we are not having a good realtionship with them. So everyday I think what those people have done for us and what they did to save people and what they did to risk there lives. I also can not beleive the heart and courage the NYFD,NYPD have. They gave up their lives for not just somebody but a hole bunch of lives. Know i look at my family a lot more and I talk to them more. I also think that since the attack we all have becaome more united than the U.S. has ever been. The thing that means the most to me right know is my family and the people that are helping eachother get threw what happend to a family member or a friend. And helping them by giving them something thats means a lot to them but it will not replace there loved one or someone who they really cared about, but it will never repplace them. Also people are not giving up on what the terrist did to us. We are fighting over in pakestan for are country. The people who have died because of a terrist attack and for the people who have lost their lives over in paketsn trying to help are country win and beat Osama. Everybody who is fighting for are country right know are heros to everybody no-matter what they do they are risking there lives for us and them. I think every year that we should all send something to a family that has lost a family member or to a family that their daughter or son is over fighting for are country.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On the tragic day of September 11, exactly one year ago, I returned from an early class only to find that the towers were burning and that soon they would no longer stand. The news became a consistent reminder throughout the day that it was truly happening even though none of it seemed real. Today marked the one year anniversary of the tragedy and it made me want to reach out to the people that are close to me even if it was just briefly. This is something that I wrote as a message to all my friends, and family members, via computer. I hope that it is as touching to others as it has been to those people that I love. "Today we remember and honor those who lost their lives on 9/11, the innocent victims, the heros, and those whose selfless acts saved lives. For all those who are now risking their lives to end terrorism. For all of this countries heros past and present. To our police officers, firemen, and so many others who put their lives on the line everyday to protect the innocent...today we remember, we honor, and we say thank you. Today we remember 9/11 and we remember our heros." Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

My dad and my brother both worked in the buildings, but before they fell. My younger brother is a firefighter in the Bronx and he was there that night. I only wish I could have been there to help in the rescue and recovery. My heart goes out to all those lost in the events of September 11th.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: This is more about how I feel 5 years after 9/11. It's still very strange to think that so many people lost thier lives on that day. We weren't at war so in that respect, it's a little like Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. An unprovoked attack on the American way of life. I visited NYC over the labor day weekend. I got to see Ground Zero. I heard horror stories from many residents of NYC and the surrounding area. The one thing that struck me is the strength of those folks. Some had lost friends or relatives that day. Either they worked in or around the WTC or they were part of the city services (FDNY, NYPD etc). I felt as if they were putting on a brave face, but all you have to do is look into thier eyes and you can see the pain they felt that day. I also got to visit Liberty Island and Ellis Island that very same day and after seeing Ground Zero. It occurred to me that so many people from all over the world came here searching for a better life. My own grandparents among them. So many of the freedoms that we came to know are gone now. We can no longer carry so much as a bottle of shampoo on an airplane. We are forced to sit in long lines at airports to catch a plane. Even at the place (Battery Park) where you catch the ferry to Liberty and Ellis Islands, you have to go through the same screening as an airport. I now believe that it wasn't so much the events of 9/11 that they terrorists were looking to committ, but the changes in the way we live. It was a heart wrenching trip to be sure. One I will never ever forget. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Alan Jackson says in a song that he dedicated to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on America, ?where were you when the world stopped turnin' on that September day?? I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in Greensboro, North Carolina in study hall with my baseball coach at the time, when the world stopped turning on that tragic day. I got into his office around 8:30 to begin my homework for English class. He had a small television set in his office where he was watching his morning news on CNN. Around 8:45 a.m., an American Airlines Flight 11 was hijacked and crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center. I remember the news showing repeatedly the massive airline plane crashing into the north tower. While they were showing that clip of the plane crashing into the north tower, around 9:03 a.m. another plane was hijacked and crashed into the south tower of the World Trade Center. The news station shows the plane exploding, and fire erupting on the top floors of the Trade Center. I remember thinking, are we going to get out of school or baseball practice because of this tragic moment. When this happened, there was no way that I could do my homework for English. The outcome to this tragedy was innocent people lost their lives for being at the wrong place and the wrong time. I told my coach that I needed to go home because I could not think about doing my homework when something that tragic is happening to our society. One the way back to my dorm room I saw people in the halls crying because they knew someone that worked near the twin towers or they were related to an airline pilot. This really made my emotions flare up, making me really upset. I just wanted to drop out of college and join the military to get my revenge on those ?bastards? that where trying to bring our society down. They crumbled our spirits of a happy world. I got to my room around 9:28 a.m., just in time to hear President Bush speak about the apparent terrorist attack. I was glued to the television set waiting to hear more about the terrorist attack, and how many innocent people that had lost their lives. At 9:43 a.m., the news said that American Airlines Flight 77 had just crashed into the Pentagon, in Washington D.C. I was worried that the next place that would be hit was the gas tanks in Greensboro. The gas tanks that are located in Greensboro are the biggest on the east coast, holding the most oil. It could cause a huge explosion of the city if a plane had crashed into them. I was thinking to myself, if an airplane hit those huge gas tanks it would take out the whole city of Greensboro. At 10:05 a.m., the south tower of the World Trade Center finally collapsed, causing a cloud of dust and debris forms and drifts away from where the building used to stand. CNN news announced at 10:10 a.m. that United Airlines Flight 93 also was hijacked and ended up crashing in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. I did not think the attacks on America were ever going to end. I had in my mind that the world was coming to an end for the United States. It made me wonder how this could happen since we have top secret services and technology that are capable of detecting this before it happens. Around 10:28 the north tower of the World Trade Center collapsed letting off a cloud of debris and smoke. I did not know what to think when all this happened in such a short period of time. Our school ended up closing for the day, but our evil baseball coach made us practice. I lost a lot of respect for him making us come and workout when something so tragic had just happened to our Nation. I was scared of what was going to happen later on that day to our society. When baseball practice was over at 6:00 pm, I went straight to my dorm room to see if anything else had happened. The news showed people that witnessed the tragic moment by video tape. I saw the plane hit from another point of view. Then when the towers started to come down it covered the city with smoke. I could see the man that was video taping it running away as fast as he could and the smoke making the daytime look like night. When the smoke cleared, all you could see was white dust on everything in New York City. I was really hurt that I could not do anything about it, in helping or preventing this tragic moment. I did not end up joining the military, but I did transfer school to get closer to Washington D.C. a year later.
