2nd grade,Long Island, New York,September 11th,2001;
Our teacher sent in a temporary sub while she rushed out of the classroom. We all wondered what it was, but were to young to understand even if we did know. Minutes later our teacher came back in, forcing a smile, even when she knew things werent okay. She stood by the TV thinking about whether or not to turn on the news.
8:44am: A commercial jet had crashed into the world trade centers north tower, and with everyone thinking it was accidental at the sight of a plane flying low toward Manhattan, there was still mass chaos in New York City.Until just after, at about 9:00, a second plane came barreling in, and after those in the south building had been told to go back to work, despite everything that just went on right before their eyes and out their office window. As the plane got closer, people predicted their fate and after seeing what had happened to floors 93-99 directly across fromn them, their only choice was to get out. People down on the streets were short of breath seeing bodies of people with all hope lost jumping out of windows,desperate.And the second plane,sure enough, came directly towards the south tower and this time in the lower stories.Now we knew we were under terrorist attack.
[At school]:I could see smoke rising from the distance after looking out the window.Our teacher had told us that there was a plane that hit the twin towers in the city.Moms and dads came rushing into the building pulling students out of their classrooms, and a thought ran through my head that maybe those kids had lost one of their parents.And even though it happened 7 years ago the thought of it,being there to witness it, is still in my mind, clear as day.
4 planes. 19 terrorists.Over 2,000 killed.
Remember 9/11.And those Lost.
