911DA Story: Story
On september 11 I went to school just like any other day not knowing what kind of tragedy was bout to happen in a couple of hours. I remeber sitting in homeroom with Mr. Johnston, when the teacher from next door came rushing over to our room saying "turn on the news, a plane just crashed into one of the world trade centers!" At first I didnt really know anything about the towers and didnt think anything of it really, becasue I didnt know all of the people that were just killed and involved in it.
As the day went on though i realized that this was a big deal. The news was on in every class we had and after hearing them talk about it, I didnt want to believe it becasue i was scared for all of the people trapped inside and what must have been going through thier minds, if they were thinking they were going to die or thinking bout thier kids, husbands, or wifes. When the the reporter announced that the first tower had just collapsed i feared for all of those lifes trapped inside and for all of thier loved ones watching them collapse with it.
Kids were leaving school becasue they were scared, and for the first time ever Disney closed. Everyone was scared of where they may strike next. I remeber being frightned that they may hit Floirda since it if one of the major tourist attractions in the United States. This was a huge tragedy and I hope that nothing like this will happen again and that we will never have to lose so many people at once again.
