On September 11, 2001 I was on my way to school. The time was about 7:30 am Rocky Mountain time. At that moment, my teacher Mr. Tonk told me about the attack. When I first heard about it I was stunned. I thought that it had been an accident. But then the other plan crashed into the towers.
When I saw this, I was undescriptable. I did not know what to think. All I remember doing, was turning to my friend Josh, and saying, "We will soon be at war. A war not only among nations, but a war that will be right in our back yards".
When I said that, I was scared. I didn't know where else they would attack, or if they would. I didn't even understand why they did it. Was it out of hate? Steven Seidel

I was in high school, working with computers. I was helping the Nurse setup her email while she got a few calls from a friend in New York. When I went back to the computer office I told my teacher and my friends what had happened. From there it spread to other teachers and deans in the halls. Soon TV's were setup in the A/V Center, eventually the principal was informed. That is where I was on...

I was suddenly awaken by the sound of my phone ringing from my uncle in L.A. telling my mom that we're going to war. I jumped out of bed to the sound of the television on the highest level. As I walked into their room I glanced at the TV screen to see the second plane crash into the second building of the WTC.
As I walk through the hallways at my school, the TV's in the classroom was all tuned in to the news that repeatedly shown the planes crashing. It made me think about all the people who lost their innocent lives and their families that they left behind. It's sad that it took the events that happen in Sept. 11, for us Americans to come together as one. But it's GREAT to see us Americans come together as one...

I was sitting in the school library- second carrol from the back of the east wing- when I heard 7th graders giggling about the white house burning up, which i figured was a stupid joke. Then, at the end of the class period, i gathered up my book to go to Art. I turned a corner, and saw a somber group of four librarians and history teachers looking at two of the computers. On one monitor, a video loop of the first plane was playing. Mrs. Guild was at the other one, saying "I can't get anything on the Pentagon!" It felt like a battle command center. I gave up on classes, and found my friend Giselle, who had a discman/radio, and we each listened through a headphone to CNN. When one of the towers fell, we realized that this wasn't a fun story anymore. I went downstairs to find my best friend, whose mother was working at a hospital in New York, and because of the state of emergency, who wouldn't be allowed to leave until early the next morning. Other girls were crying because of parents whose NY location was unknown, NY friends, or relatives on airplanes. My friend Tara, who has Iranian family, was sobbing because of the rumors that middle eastern citizens had flown the planes. "We won't be able to go back to Iran anymore!" she wailed. ABout an hour before lunch, the administration gathered the entire high school together so we could ask question and watch the news. In the middle of a silent moment, a sophomore's mother came in to take her home. Her friend had been on one of the planes to hit the WTC. I sat between my two calmest acquaintances, who debated miltary reactions over my head. After the FAA had called all planes out of the sky, we heard rumors that one was left, and heading for Philadelphia. I'll look at airplanes quite so innocently again.
