I watched the 9/11 on the history channel and I felt sad because if I think about it a lot of people died and their family and friends most of been sad. Their family most of been depressed that they were unable to do anything to save them. I see ads of 9/11 on the newspaper, television, and I here people talking saying that they are glad that they didn't have a family member or friend that died in the disaster.

Durinq the Attacks of 9/11 my Grandmother lost a couple of her dearest friends.At the time she was teaching her freshmen class,And all of a sudden you could hear loud booming noises no one knew what it was they just assumed it was construction workers.But all of sudden the principal burst through the clasroom door screaming "oh my god" the towers have been hit everyone panicked ,immeadiatly my grandmother rushed to the tv,and what she saw nearly broke her heart for she knew that she had lost some of her dearest friends,There was nothing she could do but sit there and cry,like everyone els and try to keep safe.to this very day my grandmother is still in shock that so many innocent people lost there lives..R.I.P to all the people that lost their lives to the tragedy of 9/11.<3

I interveiwed my dad for the 9/11 interveiw. When I asked my dad how he felt about 9/11 he replied "I didn't think anyone would be crazy enough to use the innocents to prove a point." He also said he wished he was still in the service so that he could help. He wanted to be the type of person to help his country when it needed to be helped. When I asked my dad how he feels now that it was the 10th anniversary he said "I feel bad for all the families who have lost their loved ones, but there is nothing we can do to bring them back. All we can do is try to avoid another terrorist attack.

When I watched a recap on 9/11 I saww the planes knock down The At first I was excited to see it happen, but after a while when the second plane crashed in to the South Tower, I felt bad. Then, when the towers started to fall I felt even more sad. I felt sad becasue I thought about all the peopel that was in the buildings that died. I also thougth since it was the 10th anniversery something else was gonna happen like get bombed or blown up. Those were my thoughts about the 9/11 recap.

Brittany B said...

I interviewed my neighbor and she was telling me how when she was watching it on TV , she seen people jumping out the building & she was over emotional because her neice was in that building and her neice was 5 months pregnant. So her neice and the baby in her stomach died inside of the building.

Rasheed (Toddy) said...

When I watched 9/11 I was kinda shocked at what I was seeing. When I started watching the buildings was falling down and people was running out of the building trying to get to a safe place. I felt bad for the people who lost there lives because of the crash , but luckly it was early so alot of people didnt get in the building yet. I know people all across the world was sad and showing there respect for the people that was lost on 9/11.

I had watched a show on 9/11. On the show there was alot of people runnig and crying. After the towers fell the was alot of white dust on cars, buildings, and people.I was shocked because ther was ppl jumping out of windows.

Deondre P said...

when i watched the 9/11 video i was mad because alot of innocent people were killed and wasn't even aware what was happening. I was also mad because a great deal of kids were killed because of these attacks by terrorist. I asked my mom where she at during 9/11 and she told me that my sister was in new york when 9/11 happened so I was worried because my sister could've die that day and I would never see her again.

savanna payne said...

After watching 9/11 on the news i started to tear up because of little kids crying and not being able to see his or her family members again.I also started to cry when people on the plain called their families and said i love you and i might not be coming home tell the kids i love them, that hurt me alot too.when my older sister was watching this with my dad she was wondering why they did this to us and then when i asked him the same question he said because they do not like us that really is horrible to hear and it is horrible to see what they did to inocent people and little babies and kids.We are lucky that we were not in the 9/11 but i will always prey for people who didn't make it. Love to them all.

On september 11, 2001 it was devestating how all those people wer running for their lives when the twin towers colapse.People started dying, some were wounded or sick. It was a shame that family members were killed in the towers, some were jumping. I would've been crying if one of my family members died on 9/11.The smoke traveled all around New York leaving the city blank. Some people suffocated. Sorry to any parents of children that died

victorApo said...

9/11 was an incident that happened in 20001 that scarred and many people and children. when i herd about it i didnt know what to say or do, all i felt was sadness and sorrow. I couldn't believe what i heard, i mean common a US plane crashing the world trade center because of terrorists highjacking them, its just very unbelievable for a child to hear that his/ her parents died in a crash or people being crushed under rubble.
And still to this day people that lost their family and friends pay their last respects to the people that died in 9/11.

I interviewd my aunt for homework. I asked her what happened the day of 9-11. She said that she just woke up and was getting her kids up for day care and she saw this on the news. She said she called my mom and her brother and everyone was ok. She did not take her kids to day care , go to work, or nothing she did not leave the house for two days. I said did you loose anyone she said my best friends sister was killed in the first building. I felt so bad.

I was so devistated and confused of what I saw on "Hours That Changed America".It showed what happened during 9/11.It was so tragic.I was sitting there asking myself "why would someone do this?"All those innocent people killed.I felt like I was there when it happened the smoke and debri floating and drifting through the air,people jumping out windows killing themselves rather then waiting for rescue to come it was such a shame because people rather die than live with people trying to kill and attack them.At one point i wanted to cry when the firefightes caling home to families and friends leaving messages saying their good-bye's.Watching it made me tremble in fear.

lawrencewilliams said...

I was desiguessed because of senseless burtality on the people who where killed in twin towers.I watched the memorials for the people who died in 9/11, I sad when I saw how many people lost a lost a loved one or friend.

Quintia McClain said...

Over the weekend I interviewed my downstairs neighboor Ebony. During the time the World Trade Center was attaced she was at her New York apartment in the Bronx. Around 12:00pm she went into her living room and turned on her tv. All she saw was the plane crashing into the World Trade Center.She didnt know what it was she changed the channel and on every channel it was the crashing or the covering of the story. Then she realized that the World Trade Center was attacked. She was very surpised and and shocked that anything like that would happened,so for the rest of the day she watched the covering of the attack.

Justin Townsend said...

My reaction was awe and saddness. many people died that day but we made sure that we made them known. Over 2000 people died that were children, women, men, husbands, wives and many more. It is sad that many children in 9/11. The others were sad but the worst part of 9/11 was al the children that died.It almost makes me cry that many poeple had to choose between burning to death or falling to their death. I dont know what i would do if i had to choose between burning to death or falling to death.

Hear i currently stand, september 11, 2011 witnessing the memorial being given in tribute to september 11 2001, currently barack obama stood next to former president who was president at the time of 9 11 george w. bush, the two stood next to the two pools in which the twin towers used to stand. There where thousands of people who where at the memorial paying tribute to there dead family members, saidfully the day that 9 11 happened no one could predict what was going to happen. Id like to say thank you to those who died the day of 9 11 for putting there lifes on the line. It was unfortunate what happened on that day, may all who died rest in piece. For those who where brave that day i would like to join the united states marines for them and also to keep this great nation of ours safe.

When i heard about the 9/11, i was so hurt because a lot of people died that day. and it's important to me because it inspired me in many weys. some ways it inspired me was when the mayor took all day just to find all the the alive people that was still alive. in other ways it inspired me was when everybody families was crying & horrible things happend. That inspired me in a badd way , because it remind me when mahh cousin died doing nothing. he died walking home when this random car droved pasted & he they started shooting for a no reason problem, so that's how it inspired me in a badd way. i really don't like bringing up things like that . but that's how i felt. the 9/11 was a terrible tragidy . when i found out i was hurt broken . because i am very emotional about things such as badd things. i'm different, so if somebody would laugh at something like 9/11, i would bust down in tears!:( so it inspired me in many wyass.

Over This Weekend i had intervied my grandmother and she told me that during 9/11 there was a series of accidents that had occured within that day. It was a Tuesday morning and 19 terrorist had attacked the U.S. and crashed the Twin Towers along with the Pentagon. It was told that Osama Bin Laden was behind the whole thing and it was his way to get back at us. Osama had caused 3,000 inicent people to lose their lives on 9/11. It started around 8:00 a.m. and didn't end to about 10-11:00a.m. It took the people about 6 months to clean it all up, and the W.T.C. is estimated to be completed in 2013. And i felt really bad at this because it was a complete shame how many lives were lost over something stupid!

Rickey B. said...

My reaction to U.S 93 was sadness .I was also excited to see what would happen next.The U.S 93 was one of the planes that was hijacked by terrorists during the attack on The World Trade Center and the Pentagon.U.S 93 was suppose to hit the White House or the Justice Building.But the passangers ganged up and attacked the terrorists.They lost control of the plane,and it crashed.There was no known survivors.All the passengers` name went down in history

Ray Watson said...

After watching some parts of the 9/11 documantaries and doing some research on the=is horrible doing of evil i have compiled an amount of information.

On that tuesday morning at aroud 9 AM, the first of the two aircraft to hit the WTC's hit one of the twin towers. evryone on the plane was killed in the impact and so were people on the floor the plane hit.

The heat created from the blast and from all of the fuel on the plane had cuased the frame and support of the towers to be greatly weakend.

Law enforcment and firefighters arrived to the scene to be able to get most of the inicent citizens of this great country (god bless america) anyway, they were able to save mostly everyone in the towers before the collapse of the towers about two hours later.

Although many lifes were lost on that faithful day, includiong the citizens on Flight 93, who are viewed as the heros who may have saved a governmental building in Washington D.C.

Others to also lose their lifes at the hands of "men" who are "idealist" who further their own cause. There were also the citizens who were in the flight that hit the pentagon, which is an important part of our powerful military.

This is a tribute to all those loved and lost on that terrible morning.

When I Watched The 9/11 I thought it was said because so many people died and burned . Many fire fighters died trying to go into the twin towers to help people get out , the fire fighters saved many people . I Think Its Crazy How Many pwople died and was scared in the 9/11.

Kyle H. said...

I watched a few documentaries and I felt sad. I saw and heard people jumping out of the building, watched the planes hit the towers, and saw people die a horrible death. Not many firefighter made it out that day.

I give my thanks to all the heroes who died that day and I'll never forget what they did for us

My mom said on 9/11, she was not aware of what happend right away. She was no near a TV or anywhere that can tell the news. My dad called her because he heard about hat happend. After he told her, she was concerned and confused about it. My grandmother was worried about my dad because he was working in the city. After a few days, my mom watched the news to find out more about the attacks and found out what she needed to know.

Emily F said...

I hate watching the 9/11 videos. Just to be reminded about how many people died makes me cry everytime. I feel like we could have done something to stop it from happening, but we can go back now so we can only look to the future and remember all the people who died trying to save as many as they could from the burning towers.

On September 11,2001 were series of four coordinated suicide attacks upon the United States and Washington D.C. on Tuesday 19 terrorists from the Islamist militant group al-qaeda hijacked four passenger jets .The hijackers intentionally crashed two planes American Airlines Flight 11 and United Flight 77 into the Twin Towers of the world trade center both towers collapsed within two hours also the other two planes crashed into the pentagon in Virgina an the other one landed in the field near Pennsylvania but that plane was intended for the White house .I personally feel very bad for the people who lost their lives in the terroists attack.It is still sad because we are still recovering from what happened on that day....R.I.P TO THE PEOPLE WHO GOT KILLED!!!!

10 years ago the world trade cenres were attackedby terrorists knocking them down ,killing many friends and family members.
That event restricted many of the U.S rights.People couldnt fly air planes without going though a long fustrating process . People in N.Y had to be in the house for a 8 o'clock curfew and much more.
So many people were willing to give up some of there rights to feel safe again.At this time no one knew the terrorism was over , so the U.S was under a lot of security . No one could fly in or out of the united states for about a week. At this time and still now know one knew exactly who died .They had to identify people by little parts of them.Out of all four planes that crashed that day no one knew how many people died. This was a bad time for the united states, But now we have more security and we're more aware of what can happen anyday, and can stop it on time . This was a tragic historical event for the u.s and made people realize everyday , moment , second, isnt promised....

jamal harris said...

i think the 9/11 was so scarey and sad for all those people that died.How all those people where jumpen from 70 stories that wa sad that my opinion

destinee said...

i watched on tv the 2001's 9/11 trajic attack. when the world trade center and pentagon was unexpectly attacked by jet plans. many people watched and paniced as some firefighters and cops went back into the building to save more people.the most people could do was to watch and pray while they tryed to get into contact with loved ones. suddenly the towers fell down and so many lives were lost including the firefighters and cops. even for the next few weeks we were in panic,shock,and fear unsure what was going to happen next.

When I watched a recap on 9/11 I saww the planes knock down The At first I was excited to see it happen, but after a while when the second plane crashed in to the South Tower, I felt bad. Because People Was geting killed and At this time no one knew how many people was died !

starlett.L said...

When 9/11 happened i was only about three or four, but I've seen so many videos and read so many stories about it that even though i was young i feel like i was there myself. It was so sad to see all those poor people having to make terrifying decisions like do i burn to death or do i jump out this window!

Antanique Frazier said...

9/11 . The 9/11 anniversary was so sad , now that im older i can really under stand what happen . the videos , the left behind family , the fire fighters and the people that was their to see what had happen is soo sad , on the news they was talking about the man who had lost his wife , he was heart broken because she was his first love , when people went down this year they looked heart broken it seem like as the years go buy it hurt them more , the familys that are grieving over their lost ones my heart goes out to them because i knoee how it feels to loose someone you love unconfitonally , i think we shouldnt be mad at all the musleum and aravic cirizens because all of their mind and heart isnt the same , even some of them found that wrong so my opionion is dont jdge people on the rest of their believers because some poeple dont choose on who they are , or who they have grown to be .......

Tiffany B said...

My mom was telling me how 9/11 didnt affect her much . She did say she watched it on the t.v. though! She said she couldnt remember what exactly she was thinking, but she knew it was really crazy!
