911DA Story: Story
When I heard what happen in New York I was scared because I though about terrorist killing all of us. Some of the kids left my English class because over the loud speaker the principal said that if any kids in the school have parents that work in the World Trade Center please come to the office. My teachers were talking about what happened and then they started crying in front of all of us. For the rest of the day every body was in a bad mood or was crying. When I got home I put on the news and every channel was about the World Trade Center getting bombed.
This terrible happening dominated our lives for the next 8 months on TV, Radio and newspaper. It seemed like we just couldn?t stop talking about it there were about 5,000 people that day in the World Trade Center. Approximately 2,800 people died of the 5,000. In the Pentagon in Washington D.C. 1,125 people working that day. That?s a lot of lives lost.
I think this happen because we were too relaxed about security in our country. We though we are a superior country and that it could never happen here. We need to stop people from coming into our country and watch our own backs. We don?t know who are the terrorists here and who are not, so it can happen again.
They are talking about rebuilding the World Trade Center on the same site, but I don?t think should do that on the same site because it?s a memorial spot or like a grove. New York has lots and a lot of money from 9/11 and some has the federal government. Hopefully everything will get back to normal but in some ways living locking over you shoulder.
Our men and women of the army are in Afghanistan defending us, it?s a shame because they have to this because of one creep. I hope wear ever he is he is suffering or is dead. Coming this Wednesday 9/11/02 is the one-year anniversary of this terrible tragedy. There will be a lot of memorial services all over the country and sadness and I hope there will be nothing bad happen ever again.
