My wife and I were going into work a little earlier than usual (5AM here in Hawaii) when we heard on the radio that a plane had flown into the world trade center. Then a few moments later the announcement that the tower(s) had collapsed...I couldnt believe it...thought maybe it was just overblown news reports...

At the time, no thoughts of terrorism, perhaps just a very bad air disaster...then when I got to work and saw the video footage...

Fear, Anger, and ... being stuck in the middle of the Pacific...helplessness.

The day when it happened I only noticed it when i was at school when students were talking about it. I didn't believe them because they always make any kind of jokes. When period one started all the students in my class were very quite and I wonder what was they doing. When the class begins my spanish teacher told us to write 1 page reaction in spanish. So i did, i told her that i didn't know that it happen. So all day we was talking about that terrorist attack. I hope nothing will happen like this again not even a small thing. So I pray Lord to guide all of us.

I had just got to school when I saw a teacher watching t.v. in the library. At first I thought it was an action movie I asked her what was that and she said that there was a terriost attack on the world trade center. I was shocked because I remember that there was another terriost attack at WTC couple years back. Then I remember seeing mr. Kagemoto and two other librians come out of the office to come watch it too. Everyone was glued to the t.v. as they watched the horror unfold before there eyes.massive explosions people running for there lives it chaos.Then the whole day at school we just talked about the attack on America. I pray that nothing likethis happens again.

While the incident happend i was sleeping. I didnt know what was going on into i went to school. I found out in my 3rd period when my social studies teacher turned on the t.v. I was very scared because I thought we were going to be under attack too. Since we live in Hawaii and we are one of the smallest islands.I feel sorry for the many innocent people that had pass on in 9-11. My heart and support goes out to the famalies."Take care and God bless."
