Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: I was in the 8th grade when the attacks took place. I was in Washington Irving Middle School in my technology class when Mr. Powell, the shop teacher, told my teacher the there were attacks on the twin towers and the pentagon. I couldn?t hear what Mr. Powell said to my teacher but I saw an expression of distress on his face. Many of my fellow students and I asked what was wrong. He said that there was a terrorist attack on the towers and the pentagon. After I heard this my mind went blank because my dad works at the pentagon. I didn?t know where exactly the plane had hit and I had no way of knowing if he was alive or not. About 3 minutes later we turn on the T.V. and saw what happened. My class saw images of the twin towers crumbling and people jumping out of buildings trying to escape their inevitable death. I saw when the buildings fell to the ground and saw that area of New York covered in cloud of ash. I tried to call my mom and dad at their work and on their cell phone. There was no answer on either. I went through the whole day of school not paying attention to the teachers but thinking, what if? During the school day I saw many students being taken out of classes and going home. I had no such luxury. I finished the rest of the school day wondering if my dad was okay. Eventually my dad came home and we watched the President?s speech on the attacks. There were lives lost during the attacks of September 11th and I send my condolences to those who have lost loved ones. September 11th will always and forever be a day of remembrance to those who died and those who help fight terrorism to prevent things like this from ever happening again.
