9/11 video

Moving on to a completely different topic, we were given an exercise in class this morning. A video was shown of the 9/11 terrorist attack on the twin towers. We were told to type what we were thinking whilst watching.

It hit me that it was seven years ago from now that I was sitting in my history class when the news hit the UK. Knowing what we know now, watching the footage over is a strange feeling.

A plane hits the building and heavy smoke fills the air. The tower begins to collapse and people look down from windows wondering what they can do. Streets are filled with people screaming and running for their lives as the smoke gets closer and closer.

It is clear that nobody knows what is happening or what will happen next.
