On September 11, 2001 I was in school. I was just going into my second hour class at about 9:00 when my teacher had turned on the TV. It was all over the TV on every channel. They were saying that a plane had crashed into the World Trades Center and one had also crashed into the Pentagon. At first I really couldn’t believe it and I didn’t really think anything of it because there are so many things that happen in this world. Then after hearing so much about it I finally realized how big of a deal it really was. Everyone was worried about gas prices going up, if we were going to go to war and so many things were going through everyone’s mind. I couldn’t believe how someone could do this to so many innocent people. I felt so bad for all the people who had lost their loved ones in the attack. I heard people talking on the TV about how they talked to their loved ones when the first plane crashed but then never talked to them again. I donor think anyone in their right mind would steal planes with a bunch of people on it and then crash it into a building with thousands of people in it and kill thousands of innocent people along with killing themselves. I cannot imagine what the people in the plane were thinking and now I cannot imagine what the people who lost their loved ones are going through right now. Why would someone want to kill so many innocent people? Obviously the leader of it doesn’t care too much about his own country or he would have given himself up by now. Does he think the he is just going to kill thousands of our innocent people and we are just going to let him and not do anything back? After getting up at 5:30 thinking it was going to be just another normal day of going to school and sitting in class all day. Well it was a drastic change of what the day really turned out to be. Everyone was thinking we were going to go home from school early but the school thought we should stay in school so we could associate with our friends. We just went on as a normal day only watching the news in every class. Then at the end of the day I went home and my sister was watching the news every time something else bad would happen, like another building would crash or something she would come tell me about it. After hearing about the attack all night it mad me feel pretty bad that I couldn’t do anything to help all the people who were killed in the attack. It was like no one could do anything about it besides sit back and watch it happen. The only people that could actually have done something about it were the people who did it. Many people had different feelings about the whole thing. All day you seen people who were sad and just not acting the way you normally would see them. All I have to say is I am sorry for the people who lost their loved ones over something that should have never happened to them.
