Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My name is Rich Wodka I am 17 years old and I attend school at Barker Central School in Barker New York. Before the September 11th tragedy, I would have thought nothing like that would ever happen. The morning that I woke I up I was just thinking it was going to be another boring day in my life. At the beginning of 3rd period which would be 9:28 a.m. I began getting ready for gym. When I got into the gym I saw on the T.V. what looked like to me a movie, but it was real the 1st world trade center had been hit by a plane. Not thinking anything of it I just went on through that period. When I went into the next period everything started to unwind. By that time the 2nd tower was hit and now all the school was starting to get worried. You could see people jumping out of the towers because they couldn't get down the stairs. The plane had hit right in the center of the trade center making it impossible for people to get down. The make of the tower was that it was almost hollow in the center. In the center were the elevator shafts and the stairs. When the planes hit the elevator shafts filled with the jet fuel making like a bomb that would destroy the towers. After the towers fell many parents had called the school to get their kids out because they were afraid that something was going to happen to the school. I myself wasn't worried at the time but after all of it happened it all started to sink into me. A couple of my friend's relatives were supposed to go to see or work at the World Trade Centers that day. One girl's dad was suppose to go there for work that day but he was running late and he didn't make it. Another one of my friend's sister's was suppose to go to the tower and look from the observation deck and look at New York. She was delayed from going because she had prior business to attend to. Some of the other people that meant a lot to me were just there a couple of weeks ago taking pictures from the Towers. The pictures were amazing but to think about it now they really mean nothing because the towers are gone. Everything that had happened that day and the people that were killed will be remembered. The people that went there to help out and died trying to help will always be remembered too. The World Trade Centers are still going to be remembered as one the greatest things that has ever been built. People will know what really happened and the pain that was caused when the terrorists attacked. Nothing that happened that day will ever be forgotten.
