Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Ebony Drake May 7, 2002 Extra Credit Attacks on September 11th BOOM!! CRASH!! POW!!! All of these are sounds that were made on Tuesday, Sept. 11th as the World Trade Center collapses followed by crashes at the Pentagon and then in Pennsylvania. I was sitting in my 9:30am class as my professor began to tell the class what he had just heard on the news on his way to class. At the time it really didn??t faze me. Class was over and I went on to my next class. This professor began to then tell us that another plane had hit the trade center. At that point I began to wonder what was really going on. After class, I went to the Student Commons. I could not believe my eyes. Everyone was standing around looking at the TV??s that were on and others were crying hysterically. I walked around to look at the news broadcast. OH MY GOD! The sight I saw was almost unbearable. My first instinct was just to start saying prayers for the people and their families. I rushed home. When I arrived, my roommate had been crying and she told me that both her aunt and uncle worked in the Pentagon. We were both so worried. Then I thought to myself, ??I know people in the DC area too.?? My friend??s father also works in the Pentagon. Later both my roommate and I got the word that everyone was okay. I just sat in my room watching as the continuously showed the reenactment of these tragedies. I was in such aw, wondering why, how, and who. I continued again to say prayers, but this time I was praying for this country. I prayed for wisdom over our leaders. Today our country is at war. I don??t know if I agree with the whole war situation. I feel that it will only create more problems for not only our country but also other countries as well. If you trace back to what has been going on over so many years, these people were only retaliating against the U.S. It was a horrible thing and a lot of innocent people were killed, but I think war is only going to create the opportunity for something like this to happen again.
