NMAH Story NMAH Story: Story How did you witness history on September 11th? Share your experience. How I will remember 9-11 and how I feel about it As I was sitting in my 1st block social studies with my teacher Mr. Heasley. It was a usually day in that class, I was in it with my friend Amber and we were talking and of course getting in to trouble and that when Mr. Wilson came in and told us all that there had been a terrorist attack on new your city. At first no on believed him and then he told us to turn on our T.V and we did at that very moment not one of us really new what to expect or knew the full gasp of what had happened!! We watched the news on it and saw the first building and the 2nd one get hit and blow up we also saw them fall in 2nd block in pre algebra thought by miss. Holt!! We were all sitting in the floor in her class sitting with the people we card about and we were all upset and blow away and still not yet sure what tot believe. WE were all just sitting there for the whole class period. I was sitting with Amber, Greg, Jessica and Sara we were all just kind of like whats going on and we were quit for the first time all year. Then as the day went on I begun to understand what was going on more and more and the sadder I got. On that day my out look against how protected we are changed for ever because if some one from another country can just walk in one of our airports and mange to get on and take over and kiss intents people that had done nothing rung but be on that plan which is sad and angered. It upsets me to know that all of those people died because of a couple of people and that all those children have to be raise with out one of there parents and that all those people that have lost a loved one and will never know what they had felt of there last words and for that matter even know where their body is to burry them! It also angers me to think that our government is supposed to be solo good but yet they let this happen an then all of a sudden tried to protect us after all this damage has already been done and there were just like well were going to take care of it and were sorry and thats all they could say. But we still have seen no man/woman brought in for this and they promise us that we would. I think that our govement let al of this happen and is doing nothing for payback And I think that they owe us and most of the people that lost some one. And I will always remember this sad day and always keep all the people that were hurt and those that lost some one in my preys.
