September 11, 2001 is truly a lurid day that will live with us forever. Hearing it for the first time in geometry class, the news made my jaw drop. It was all very surreal to me. After a full day of listening to the news and then radio I was still in disbelief. I can only imagine something like this to be in an action filled movie, not real life. This was the news given to me at around 10:30 am 3 airliners were hijacked, taken over by terrorists. One of the planes collided with the North World Trade Center. Moments later the second airliner crashed into the second World Trade Center. The third jet was slashed into the Pentagon. I looked around to see the expressions of my classmates, they were in shock, and mouths wide open, just staring at our geometry teacher with unblinking eyes.
It first I thought this was a sick joke. What kind of people would cause such a tragedy? Stepping out of my geometry class, I saw students with teary eyes, and even some sobbing. Even though there was chatter all throughout the school, the school was overfilled with silence. After repeatedly listening to people talk about it, I started to believe. I myself became somewhat teary, thinking of all the lives lost, thinking of the mass chaos that broke loose in Manhattan. Luckily, I can come home, see my mom, talk with my dad, joke around with my brother, unfortunately because of this tragic terrorist attack, thousands of people will not have the same luxury. After a long day of school, I was anxious to get home and see my unharmed family.
Coming home I quickly ran to turn on the television. As badly as I didn't want to come to the truth, I had to. These rumors that I have been hearing all day checked out. I just could not turn off the news, as much as I wanted to get my mind off this matter a little bit, to just sit back and think about the days of disasterious events. I signed on to AOL to chat with my buddies, I received tons and tons of chain letters, regarding the days events, I kept tem going, trying to get everyone as informed and touched as I have been.
