On the day of September 11, 2001,  Mr. Patrick Neilly was working at a construction site.  They were listening to the radio when all of a sudden, the music stopped and the radio hosts talked about what had happened. He only knew about the planes that crashed, but he knew it was a big deal.  After that, he continued to work.  When he got home, he turned on the news, and watched what had been happening. ‘Til this day, he is still shocked and thinks it was an unfortunate event.

On the day of September 11, 2001,  Mr. Nate Miller was a junior in college. When he got home from class that day, his roommates were watching TV when the screens went black and went to the news. They saw that two planes had crashed into the twin towers, shocked looks on faces all across the room. As they continued to watch the news, an hour later they kept seeing how people were jumping out of the buildings to save their lives. About an hour later, he called his friends that live in New York to see if they were alright.  One of Nate’s aunts worked in one of the buildings and she just made it out in time because she was working on the third floor. ‘Til this day, he feels like it was just yesterday. It was a frightening time in his life that he will never forget.

On the day of September 11, 2001, Mr. Dylan Pinkman, was in seventh grade, at that time he didn’t know what was going on. Then all of a sudden, teachers started bringing TVs into the classrooms to turn on the news and show what was happening. Teachers explained that the twin towers were hit by two planes. About an hour later, they turned the TVs off because it was too much to handle. Only the seventh and eighth graders were told about it. His mom taught at the school that he went to, and when they went home, his mom explained what happened. To this day, Dylan wants to learn more about it and get a better understanding on what all had happened that day.
