I woke up to it, with my brother telling me that the World Trade Center had been hit.

I remember watching the second tower fall, and the rest was a blur.

This is something that I will never forget for the rest of my life. I was in 8th grade Global History class (Mr. Scrudato FTW) and some girl shouts during theclass the WTC is on fire. Everyone is like what the !%@#? (Our classroom faces lower Manhattan. We were located in Bushwick and we could see the towersclearly, that's how tall they were). Everyone rushed to the window and was just like

because we couldn't believe what we were seeing. A few mins later the secondtower is hit. By that time people are stunned, sad and crying. That day was just crazy because my dad worked at the World Financial Center and I didn'tknow if he was okay or not. Turned out he was fine. By the grace of God, no one at my school lost a parent/relative.

[h1ghstar]

damnnn memories...... 6th grade Godwin Middle School Teacher comes telling us the News... i got scared.

 

[abernja]

I was at home getting ready for school. I was a Sophomore in HS at the time and had all afternoon classes. I remember I watched eveything on ABC that morning.I didn't really grasp how monumental in Americas history this was, but anyways I recorded a full VHS tape of everything. I saw both towers fall live. Whenthey fell I really didn't feel any different. I guess because I have no ties to NY or maybe the fact that is was so sad that it almost didn't seemreal. When I got to school there was class as normal but nobody did anything that day but talk about it, watch the news, and pray for all the people involved.

I know there is some questions as to what actually happened and the truth behind that day which we may never know for certain. All we can do is remember tokeep the victims families in our prayers as today is gonna be a tough day for them. We know we lost a lot of great people and a great historic site that day.

In other not so sad news. My Dads birthday is today.

but once random kids were called to the office we saw it was no joke. my mother told me we had to pick up my brother from a school close by and while drivingshe looked like she

just saw a ghost. when we picked up my brother she told me the towers fell i just looked at her

and said no they will never fall. once we got home and saw the news

i had a chill run up and down every time it was aired. that day was so beautiful just a clear blue sky
