Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: My life and the lives of many others have been affected by the attacks on 9/11. That fateful day one year ago the Taliban terrorists hijacked four planes and crashed them into three different locations, two into the world trade centers one into the side of the pentagon, and one in Summerset County. After the first plane crashed in the trade center panic spread quickly and a great uncertainty of weather it was a mistake or intentional was left in the balance. Fifteen minutes later when the second plane crashed America was certain that we were under attack. Later we found out about the other crashes and this just worsened our condition. These attacks really brought up that America is more vulnerable than people think and that we are just as innocent as any other country. My family was not greatly affected by this though we had some connections with people that were lost with the towers. As a family we stayed together as much as possible while our country was under attack but we also persevered the following months and went on with our daily lives as normal as possible. These attacks were not expected so it hit my family as well as our friends and neighbors pretty hard. While my peers and I were at school and we heard the announcement of the attack on the towers we did not even come close to comprehending what was going down. We imagined a little bit of an explosion or something smaller like that. When we returned home to our parents and loved ones we felt better but the images of destruction displayed by the television filled us with feelings of disgust, anger, and sadness. This was a true day of reckoning for America. I was lucky that no one close to me was hurt but I do feel for the families that have lost their loved ones. I do not think that America will ever forget about 9/11 but its not like any of us want to remember. Perhaps this day where so many were lost will be remembered as a national holiday or maybe like Pearl Harbor it will just be thought of as the day America was attacked.
