Its really indescrible to explain what I just watched. So many innocent peolpe lost there lives for nothign I believe. WHen I heard about the attacks I really didn't understand the maginitude of them. The new s only showws so much. The images of peole jumping out of building just to try and save they're live is a scary thought. I can really appreciate how the country came together and helped out everyone in New York. That's one thing I can stay about the U.S. is that when worst comes we all come together and help each other on one accord. September 11th will always remain a special day in the livees of all Americans
