Today is a day that will always be remembered, individually and in history. I still remember it like it was yesterday. I was in class and all of a sudden you get the news that the Twin Tower gets hit by a plane. I then began to think, by a plane? how the hell could that happen? It must be a mistake, and then you turn on the TV and see the smoke coming out of Tower 1. You watch and you watch and then all of a sudden BANG!! the second tower gets hit by another plane. It was so surreal.
I wasn't in New York at the time but I got calls from nearly all of my family. Some of my cousins in Brooklyn said that the debris from the Towers reach all the way out their. My aunts in Queens knew people who worked in the buildings and so did my mom. Watching as people jumped from over 20 stories to a quick death and watching as the first tower fell and then the second make me fell like America isn't all that great after all.
I'm not even going to get into the Bush scandal that surrounds this story cause its bigger than that. Over 100,000 people lost their lives today over nothing and they deserve to be remembered. So to everyone who lost a family member, a friend, an associate of just a memory of what the old New York used to be like. Today is for you...matter of fact..today is for us. You Will Never Be Forgotten.
