Tell us your story: 9/11 My Story I was on my way out of the library on 9/11 when I heard my teachers talking about planes hitting buildings so I decided to eavesdrop. While listening they said that four planes crashed three of which hit buildings. The first two of the three hit the World Trade Centers. The third hit the Pentagon. The one thing that scared me the most was that the fourth crashed in Pennsylvania. I live right on the border of Pa and N.J. I didn?t truly understand what had happened until I got home. By the time I got home everyone was talking about it. I went into my house and my dad who is an L.P.N. was watching it on television. I asked him what was happening he told me to look at the television. I said who did it. He said he didn?t know. He said, ?I got home and watched the second plane hit the second tower and both towers collapse live.? About an hour later I went over my friends house and we watched everything on television over-and-over-and-over again. His grandmother came over after work covered in sweat she is a R.N. at a hospital. She told us the hospital that she worked at was overwhelmed with people who wanted to donate blood. We just sat at his house for three or four hours watching the news. I later went to another friends house to see what he was up to. But is mom said that he was at an emergency church service and she was getting ready to go to. After that I just went home to watch the news again. Well I would have watched something else except that that was all that was on. My mom was home when I got home. She just got out of the shower she is a R.N.A. and had just got home from the nursing home. She said that one of the girls at work had a daughter and husband that were in New York City the father was looking for his daughter and he was on the phone with his wife at the time of the collapse. All of them lived. In the end about 9:30 I went to bed I was very tired. I was up over half the night thinking. Listening to music. I went to school the next day and everyone was living and breathing 9/11. It got old after a while. Everything died down. Here it is a year later and everything is coming back again.
