Unit 2: Anecdotes





What were you doing when 9/11 happened?


"I live in New York. It was 2 days before 3rd grade started. I totally forget where I was, and what building I was in but I heard people screaming all of a sudden. I looked out the window and said something like "Mom! Look! A Plane! It crashed into a building!" Everybody in the building was so astonished and thought that it was some horrible accident. People were calling 911 and everything. I wasn't scared because it was "just an accident" the plane must have malfunctioned. But then the second plane crashed. I didn't know at the time, but the adults all knew that it was more than just an accident. Everybody was crying and screaming and yelling; it was total chaos. My mom picked me up and we ran out. The streets were filthy and very crowded. That is all I can remember remembering. We went down underground into the subway station and firefighters and police were leading us to safety. That is all I remember."

RIP: My favorite cousin. September 11, 2001.
