9/11

      The Day of September 11^th ,2001 I was 4 years old and at that time visiting my grandma in Florida. Around the time of the attack I was watching cartoons in the guest room and my mom and brother were watching TV in the living room. When I heard my mom screaming I had no idea what was happening so I ran out to see and she told me that a building in New York got hit by a plane. We all stood there in shock, watching and waiting to see what would happen next. When all of a sudden the second plane hit the other building.  We didn’t know what to do besides watch. As we were watching the terror within everyone , my mom then realized the my uncle, who is a pilot was supposed to be flying an American airlines plane from New York to California that day, my mom started to freak out and call a bunch of people. After a while of my mom freaking out she realized that he did it the day before but was supposed to come back and do it again but he wasn’t allowed to fly that many hours in a row.  The terrorists chose that plane he was supposed to fly that day because it had a lot of fuel in it so that it would make it all the way to California so with a lot of fuel that means a bigger explosion. I’m so glad that he wasn’t allowed to fly that plane that day. For the rest of that day all I could sing is god bless America as loud as I could. My sorrow for that tragedy will never go away. I don’t think that our decision for starting this war was very smart for our country because it altered the Americans and in how we live our life today. The terrorists succeeded what they wanted to accomplish by messing up our lives and to make it where we could never go back to what it was before. I will never forget where I was and what a horrific event that shook our nation and the world on just one single day.
