9/11

This is a post that I would usual write. This year is the 16th anniversary of the biggest terrorist attack on America. 9/11 is a date that everyone will always remember. I was in second grade when the planes attacked something so close to home. I was in New York City weeks before the attacks. I remember looking up at the towers because they were sooo tall!
I was sitting in my second grade class room when the first plane hit the north tower. Everything was okay. When the second plane hit the south tower, we weren't allowed to go outside. I remember we all had to stay inside and just did work. Then the school was in lock down as word came in that a third plane hit the Pentagon and a fourth plane went down in rural Pennsylvania.
Many parents were calling the schools to make sure their kids were okay. We had to stay until it was okay to leave. My parents were trying to come get my little brother and I but they couldn't.
After every, thousands of people from all over the country came to help search through the ruble. Almost three thousand people lost their lives. And from this the war on terror began.
I can't believe that the twenty year anniversary is in four years and it is always a sad day. I have been to NYC since and been to the Memorial Ponds where the towers once stood and it is a solemn and sad feeling.
I know that this is a sad post but it is something that I loved through. Many of these students today are going to learn and read about it in their textbooks. I watched it all on the news and saw the destruction unfold. The blood, the bodies, the buildings all burning and not a good sight. I hope that we all live and never forget those that died in a selfish attack.
