Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: On September 11, 2001, three days before my birthday, I was in Global Studies class at 9:30 a.m. when the most tragic thing in history happened. I was sitting with my friends when my teacher Mrs. Capen was explaining what was happening that morning. This event was the World Trade Centers being hit by two separate airplanes. Approximately one and a half hour after being hit by the airplanes the second World Trade Tower collapsed. A few minutes later the first World Trade Tower fell down. Before they collapsed another airplane hit the Pentagon. A part of the Pentagon collapsed also. This event is so tragic that I really can't say much about it. I am so amazed that such a thing could happen. Who in their right mind does such a thing or plans such a thing and is willing to die just for this to happen? Now I now who would do such a thing; bin Laden. He is a crazy man to think of blowing up people just because he doesn't like the religion and the lifestyle of the people who live in America. I really feel sad for the people who were in the airplanes. Some of them could have been family going on vacation and thinking of having a good time, only to find out their plane was hijacked and was going to fly into the Pentagon or the World Trade Center. I also feel sad for the people in and around the World Trade Center in New York City. Most just woke up and were heading to work thinking of a normal day not about having an airplane hit and destroyed their work place. I can't describe the feeling inside of me. It is a mixed feeling. It is both sadness and hatred. I feel sad for the people in the planes and buildings. I hate the people who did this. They killed around three thousand two hundred people that were in the planes, the World Trade Centers and Pentagon. They were innocent people just going to work or on a vacation. I think that the United States should go to Afghanistan and find bin Laden and put him in the electric chair. Then they should go and kill all of the people that were and are involved with this event. I think they should destroy all terrorists' organization involved in this. The people of America have shown a lot of support for their country. They have sent medical supplies down to Ground Zero. They sent food and clothing for the fire fighters, policemen, and the injured. A lot of people went to stores to buy flag's and clothes with patriotic colors on them. Since this tragic day the airline business has been going down. Most of the people that usually fly on an airplane are now driving their car because the fear of having their plane hijacked. It is now very hectic to get on a airplane because of all of the security checks. Some people just don't have the patience to wait. This event will stick in everybody's mind as the most tragic thing to happen in their lifetime. The event is going to be treated just like a war, accept we didn't find the man or men responsible for this. I will especially remember this because it is so close to my birthday.
