Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was sitting in my 2nd hr history class when I first heard something terible had happened in New York. We turned on the tv to CNN and listened as the commentators tried to make sense of what had happened. At first, no one really knew what had happened, we had only rumers of hijackings, terrorists, or maybe a bomb in the world trade ccenter. As the pieces started to fall together, wwwe cold only sit, stunned, for our worst predictions could never come close to the real thing. I will never forget the unbelievability of watching people jump out of the 100th story and watching on live television as the towers collapsed, taking thousands of people down with them. When it became apparent that the terrorists were using America's own planes as weapons against us, I became worried for my own family. I knew my mom was at home, but I had know idea where my dad was. In his job, he travels every weeek, and often I don't know if he's taking a day trip somewhere. I was quickly reassured after I called my mom and she told me he was in Detroit, not any where on the east coast. However, the realization that other families might not have the same reassurance hit me hard. As the day continued and more facts came to light, my strongest thought was that my memory of this day would never fade, and I could not imagine the consequences f September 11th yet to come.
