Digital Story 3 Narrative
Nine eleven was a tragedy , killing many in New York City , but it devastated people all over the world . There are still a lot of questions never answered from that terrible day . There are many people never found , but assumed dead . That day of 9/11 , I was in 1st grade . The phone rang to my classroom & instantly , the look changed on my teachers face . From that moment on , multiple other calls were made to my class with news of students getting picked up . This day changed many lives , both young & matured . There were over 2 , ooo people killed when a plane crashed into main attraction buildings called the Twin Towers , known for being two similar sized building standing next to each other & built at the same time . But , not only one plane hit , there was another . This other plane crashed into the parts of the towers that the first plane failed to hit . Instantly after the crash , smoke filled New York . Everyone couldn't see , couldn't breathe . Debri was falling from the towers , crashing down on everything around . The worst thing though , was the jumpers . Yes , the people who couldn't get out of the building that just decided to jump . People have stated that the only smell that day , was the smell of dead bodies & smoke . There were about 5 hijackers on each plane , each related to Al-Qaeda . Since this day , we celebrate the lives of those whom we've lost on 9/11 . People have created art , movies , & books . Since then , a yellow ribbon represents our respect for those lost & the troops that George W Bush sent to " keep Iraq in check . I believe the day Bush sent the troops , is the day he lost the rest of the people who believed in him & their respect . Specially since claims were made that Bush had warnings , but did not act on it . Did this day bring the US apart or closer together ? I think closer , because we all unite as one to show appreciation for troops , loved ones , & those who aren't with us anymore .
