I was walking down to the guidance office to get so information that morning, and when i got there the whole office was deserted. I asked someone where everyone was, and they said they were all in the back office watching tv. I walked back there to see what was going on and my breath was just knocked out of me when I saw the tv. A few moments later I saw the second plane strike the WTC. A teacher then walked into the office crying, and when we asked why she said,"My mother called earlier and said she saw the first plane hit the WTC from down the street." After that, I was just standing there watching tv and then the first tower fell. BY this time I was late to chemistry so I walked down there. When I got there, everyone was doing a lab, so they had no idea. I turned on the tv and the room just fell silent. A few minutes later the second tower fell. For the rest of the day we were watching tv trying to figure what was going on. There were reports of more planes that were hijacked and we were all scared to death.

On the morning of sept.11th myself and my best friend were boarding a flight to Orlando Florida at 7:40 a.m. from New Yorks JFK. At about 9:10 a.m. our captian announced that we were to make an emergency landing in Atlanta. People on the plane began using there cellphones, reporting to other passengers about terrorist activties and a plane hitting one of the twin towers. I told my friend not to worry, it was probally a small plane. As we landed and entered the airport, there was an unnerving quiet, no one but the passengers from my plane was in the airport. Most of us headed toward a bar within the airport that was still open, there we began to see the pictures, the attack on our home city, and many of our friends, on the television. I just sat there in disbelief, as many around us began to cry. The worst part was not being able to contact any of my friends or family via telephone, to let them know its ok, we're alright it wasn't our plane.

September 11th is my daughter's birthday. We were planning for her party when I finally turned on the news and saw the horrific tragedies going on. I will always remember that day because it is my child's birhtday and that was the most terrified I've been in all my life.

On 9/11 i was at home sleeping still yet and then when i woke up at around 6:30 a.m. Hawaii time. When i went to the living room i turned on the t.v. and put it to the news. when i put it on the news and they had said that the pentagon and Twin Tower had been hit. Then i got real shock. I asked my antie that "did you know what just happen a while ago" then she said "what" then i said that "the pentagon and the Twin Tower has been hit by these plane" Then when i got to school the half of the school were talking about it and I ask my teacher "did you just hear what happen then she said "I did" Then when i was in my class my teacher had ask all my class mates if we would like to hear more about the twin tower and the pentagon then we all siad yes. So then two of my class mates work the t.v. because our teacher did not know how to work on it. So then when they got to work the t.v. we all have seen how the twin tower had crashed because they keep on repeating how it had happen. So once I've seen everything i felt so scared because how would i know, if I had loss someone even thow i didn't know that person probably it could be my long lost relative. I feel so sad and depressed what happen and now our world had change a whole lot because of this whole terrorism. All i would like to say that those people who lost their love ones , I am here helping them and always thinking of them and that be stong and keep on praying that this terrorism will come in to an end and that all of us will always be United as One!!!. !!! God Bless America!!!

It was about 9:45 am on 9/11 and I had just gotten out of the shower. I didn't have class till 1 pm but I got up early to get some homework done. I don't normally watch television when I wake up, let alone the news. But I decided that morning to turn on the television partly to see if anything exciting was happening this day and partly to put off my homework just a little bit longer. I turned on the television, around the time the second plane hit. Like many others I'm sure, I was in complete disbelief when the first tower collapsed. I kept telling myself that once the smoke cleared we'd see it was only the top few floors that collapsed. Needless to say, I didn't get any homework done that day.
