Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: When I first heard the news, I was actually just waking up trying to get ready for class. Of course I still in that state of what did I just hear? So, from what I heard of the first 5 minutes of conscienceness were a plane hit the Empire State Building. Ok, whoopie doo!! Then after I actually came to, turned the T.V. on I saw President Bush being interrupted while giving a speech to I think was eduation for young children. As soon as he was told of the news the Today show cut in and was showing footage of the plane crash into the World Trade Center. Of course I ended up going to my first class that day because at the time I only knew of one plane hitting the building. When I returned home for lunch, I found my roommate watching the news and that's when I heard the rest of the news about all four planes that were taken over. I didn't go to the rest of my classes that day. I really didn't want to go to work that evening either, but I did. I remember hearing stories of threats of gas prices possibly soaring like they did last summer. I personally don't know anyone in New York City, but my thoughts and prayers went out to them. However, none of the events actually hit me at heart until random pictures were shown of different views. I guess unless you have ties to New York City in some way or another, many people tend to react totally opposite of what they normally would. It's also at times like these when others begin to point the blame to perfectly innocent victims say from other countries, when those victims fled for their own freedom. That was the only other part I couldn't stand about the whole issue. Everyone began to blame all foreigners for a problem created by another individual.
