Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: We were at school. It was P.E. and we were all sitting on the bleachers and then all of a sudden it was like chaos. The school went into a code red (I think). Then we all went into the lockerooms. I was wondering what the heck was going on. They turned the lights out and didn't want anyone talking. So we sat there and waited. Everyone was getting really anxious. Then finally, one of the P.E. teachers told us what was going on: Two planes had crashed into both of the world trade center towers, and another into the pentagon. Everyone couldn't believe what they were hearing. I wasn't even thinking just sitting there. Not thinking just listening to everyone. One girl said "My parents were on a plane this morning". Everyone began to suspect the worse of it all. The day went on and in History we watched the news and it was so weird watching the thing playing over and over on TV. In the rest of my classes people started going home, because I guess there parents were afraid. We were watching the news still. Everyone had all these theories of what was happening. Everyone was talking about it. I wasn't even thinking of it all, just doing my work. My math teacher went home, and I don't know why. When I got home, my mom had come home early from work and was watching the TV. She says to me "Can you believe it". and I said "no". So we watched more news. Some time it sunk in to me I guess, and I couldn't believe it. September 11th became the main discussion in all of the classes mostly history, and sometimes we'd talk all hour about it. So time has passed. Life for the most part is back to normal. September 11th although it happened over 2 years ago, this nation will never forget it.
