911DA Story: Story

I was at home getting ready for school and my dad had the Fox 11 news on. At first I wasn't really paying attention to what they were saying. Then my dad told me and I didn't believe him. I just sat there watching the news in shock. When my mom picked me up, she had the radio on the news listening to it. By the time she picked me up one of the buildings was already down. She aked if it was down and I told her; neither of us could believe it. At school everyone was talking about it and that was the topic of the day, of the year. I saw the planes in the buildings and the newscaster talking about it. Saying that she could not believe what she was watching. Then, another plane hits the pentagon and no one believes that. Three planes hit three different buildings in one day. In addition to the plane that almost crashed into a building in Pensylvania. I was just so shoked and still am after a year.
