Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Chris Daningburg 911 5/31/02 September, 11,2001 Someday soon someone will ask you where you what you were and what you experienced on September 11, 2001. What will you tell them? I will tell them it was the most awful day in America's history. I will tell them it was the most devastating thing I had ever seen. I saw the first plane crash into the first building over and over again on replays on the television. Soon afterwards I saw the second airplane crash through the second building. On the television we were watching the CNN. Then network reports came of another plane suddenly hitting the Pentagon. On CNN, I witnessed both 110-story buildings crash to the ground. I saw people jumping to their death so they would not burn alive. We watched all of this unfold during school After school, when I got home my mom and dad called to make sure my brother and I were okay. Soon my parents were home. My mom gave us both a hug. When my dad got home we told him all about what happened. He only had a radio at work. All of it was on television We watched it over and over again. My dad saw it for the first time and was very surprised. President Bush came on the television telling us he would take action and find the people who did this. In my study hall we watched the news for a week. We saw many of the President's speeches. Our military soon prepared to fight for their country.They had one thing in mind and that was to find Osama bin Laden. The New Year came and we still have not found him but we haven't given up yet. We still do not know if he is dead or alive. The President had our military send in ground troops and bomb over all Afghanistan. They used a bomb called a bunker bomb that blew into the ground up to 100 feet. This bomb could kill any one living in the ground. We also did a series of bombing on the mountaintops to kill any one living up there. September 11th has greatly affected us in many ways. We still are not over the horrible thing that happened. It gets better every day though. The bombing still is going on in the Afghanistan but we still have not found bin Laden. Our country has suffered greatly because of this horrible tragedy. America is now aware of what terrorists are a capable of. This has impacted all Americans and not a single American will ever forget what happened.
