I can't believe it's been 8 years to the day that this tragic event happened. Geez, I was in 6th grade at the time, and all I remember was my teacher getting a phone call/intercom call (each room had an intercom to the main office, with a handset receiver for private conversations.) My school made no mention to it. I get home, turn on the T.V. like I always did, and on the local NBC channel was nonstop coverage about what happened. My mom called about 2 minutes later, saying to not turn on the T.V. When both of my parents were home, my family talked about what happened.

 

It's insane how 8 years seems to have flown by. I was in NYC this summer and went to the WTC area. It's amazing how long the clean up has taken, and how much longer it will be till the Freedom Tower and Memorial will be built.

 

*A moment of silence for all those who died due to the terrorist attacks.*
