9/11
What's it like being a grade 10 student? Your carefree you're outgoing, you don't care about current events...What are current events anyways? That's what a typical 15-year-old would say. But not on September 11 2001. 7:58am what were you doing on that late summer Tuesday morning? I like almost all high school students was just arriving to school. You were probably getting ready for work. But 65 people aboard flight 175 from Boston to Los Angeles were taking off. A minute later 92 aboard flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles were taking off.

You're confused. 10:05am South building collapses 23 minutes later the north building collapses. That's 7 million square feet dropping to the ground. Imagine.... Being in New York, shopping going to large building, visiting the statue of liberty and you turn around and see a huge dust ball come toward you. What would you do? Run into the closest store. Be swept away but the dust. You are puzzled you have no idea what to do. 3,000 people died in the World Trade Center on September 11 2001. Soon enough America was clear on who did this. It was Osama Bin Laden. Leader of Al Quada. Largest Terrorist group in the world. Today Canada and the United States are on the war against terrorism...
