september 11 my older brother was on a plane to go from saudi, arabia to cali. in between there were many layovers and one of his layovers was in jfk airport to la. i was sitting in school when i heard the news of the attacks. i didn't really pay attention untill my teachers said where planes were heading that went down. he said a plane going from jfk to la hit the pentagon. my heart droped. i thought it was to unreal that my brother could be gone. i nearly cryed on the spot with my friends and teachers around, and said my brother was flying today to la and he should be on a plane to go there right now. everyones eyes were on me and i had tears rooling down my face. so when i got home from school i had seen my dad there which was unussal because hes usally at work and his first words were " hes okay". now when i think how bad i felt when i had a thought he was gone, i can't even imagin what loved ones of the victomes were feeling. it was almost to close. i thank god every day for allowing my brother to survive that day, and may god bless the victoms familys , and loved ones.
