On this day, 7 years ago...

I remember September 11th, 2001. I remember what I was doing and how I found out that America had been attacked. I was doing my school-work when my mother's friend, Mrs. Marie called, and ask if we had seen what was on the news. We quickly turned on the Fox News Channel, and there I saw The World Trade Center up in smoke. I was confused, and very shocked that someone would fly a plane directly into a building like that. At the time I was only 9 years old, and had never heard of "hijackers" or "terrorists". Not long after, I witnessed the second plane collide into the south building on live television. It was disturbing, it was scary, it was a day that would change America. I remember hearing the news reporters say that there were brave firemen who were risking their lives by going into the buildings to rescue as many people as possible. Soon, time ran out, and the Twin Towers became Ground Zero. Over 2,000 people died that day. I will never forget that day. Remember today, September 11th, 2001.

Here's some live footage I found on YouTube from 9/11/01. It's still hard to watch, even 7 years later.
