On September 11, 2001....I remember waking up hearing my sister saying "So both buildings are gone?" in a shocking voice. I was surprised no one woke me up since they usually do. Then my sister came into my room and told me that the Twin Towers was hit by airplanes. Of course I wanted to know why and what else happened so I got up from my bed and went into the living room. Once I saw the TV, which was showing the plane hitting the towers, all I could think about was "Oh my god..." I went to New York before and I was thinking about the Twin towers. I watched the news for a couple of minutes. Every channel was breaking news about the attack. I also found out that there was other airplanes, one that hit the pentagon and another that went down that was suppose to hit the White house. At the bus I remember the only thing everyone was talking about was the attack, even at school. I took me awhile until I knew why there was an attack on America. I found out it was a terrorist attack. I would never forget September 11, 2001.
