As I woke up, I turned on the TV to see what time it was, hoping I coud get a couple more minutes of sleep. I turned to FOX, and saw it was only five thirty. So I fell asleep again but with the TV on, then all of a sudden,There was breaking news, a plane just crashed into one of the twin towers. Unfortunatly I had to go to school, but I wanted to stay home and watch. When I got to first period, we didn't do anything school related, all we did was watch in awe the tradety that just occured. At first I though the plane ran out of gas, or a technical problem occured. Then I was told that Alqaida had just performed a terrorist attack twords the U.S. There is where we all realized we were under attack for the firt time, in our own land. After we just watched the next attacks that were launced launched knowing we couldn't do anything or at least help the people knowing we could'nt do anything being at the other side of the country.
