It was a day of tears, a day of Sadness, a day of anger and a day of horror, what goes through your mind when witness 2,997 people die with a building crumbling to the ground due to an attack from a group of terrorists who wanted their message heard? What was once beautiful example of a possible site-seeing became a cemetery marked with a tombstone at it’s front to be described as a place where a lot of people died. I remember this day 19 years ago, I was just a teenager, or maybe I was about to be a teenager that the next day, either way I was a teenager that very year. I was in the living room one certain Saturday while standing in the living room with my parents, the TV was on and the current channel that was on was CNN. The news was on, which is what my parents were watching that day, until a plane came out of nowhere, bombed and crashed into the Twin-Towers Of New-York. An attack on the twin-towers that not only came out of nowhere, but also killed 2,997 people that day. This was one of the events, the actions that change America. One attack not only took away 2,997 by sending them to their death while laying waste to the buildings itself, but also brought fear into the hearts of the Americans that day. The news spread all around the world, the 9/11 event, a terrorist attack organized to strike fear to all Americans. A lot questions goes through our minds, like what if it would be me instead who perished in that attack? a lot people where killed, all just so one group wanted to send a message, how many more people have suffer or perish for your message to be heard? In the real-world, your end can come at anytime. Show condolences for those souls that were never meant to pass away that day in the first place: because some of those people could have been your loved ones.
