Sept. 11, 2001: 20 years later

Today is a day where we all remember those who have died on that horrible day.
I remember where I was on that day.
On that day I woke up to what I thought was a normal day, that was what I thought as any 7 year old kid would do, not a care in the world.
When I saw the smoke coming from the Twin Towers, I first thought that an airplane crash into the first tower by mistake, when I saw the second plane hit the South tower, I didn't fully realize it until later on that our country was under attack by terrorists.
After the Pentagon was hit, the South tower fell, then Flight 93 crashed before it could reach its target thanks to those brave heroic souls on board, after that the North Tower fell over two hours after the first plane hit.
Let's us all hold our silence for we remember the New York City Fire fighters, paramedics, and Police office, we also remember those who worked for Port Authority, including their police officers. We also remember those who the everyday civilians who died that day.

We were told we were being sent home early, we were then hussled into one of the art classrooms with the news on.
Watched the north tower collaspe live on tv, I remember feeling a deep dread when reports of the plane crashing in PA wondering if it was ever gonna stop.
Then somehow my bus left without me, I walked up to a school security guy and told him I had no way home, my parents worked an hour away in Baltimore City, he was kind enough to contact a local sherriff officer and I got a ride back home in the back of his cruiser.
A crazy tragic day I will never forget.
We shall never forget what happened.
Never forget it. The tragedy, the victims, the culprits and the reason they did it.
