on september 11th, i was at home sleeping on my living room couch, with my dad on the other watching the early morning news. he woke me up and said that a plane accidentally flew into the world trade center. i woke up and saw it and was starting to get dressed while watching at the same time as me and my dad witnessed the second plane live crach into the second tower. i stayed home from school that day because my mothers dad,my grandpa, had passed a few days earlier and his funeral was on the 11th. on the way to his funeral in sherman tx which is about a 15 minute drive from my house in denison, me and my family saw 10 wrecks in extremely bad conditions and people fighting to get to gas stations. also on the way we heard that another plane was reported hijacked and had crashed into the pentagon. then just as we thought it was over, we found out that a fourth plane was hijacked and headed for washington dc. the terrorists on that plane had no idea that they were going to lose their fight with the men on board and fail their mission which was to hit the white house. my heart goes out to all and especially to the heroes that fought back and the people that gave their lives to save someone else! @};-
