September 11, 2011 I was eight years old when I stared at the television that showed the twin towers being on fire and people screaming on the streets. I had came back home from school that day and I stayed tuned to that new for about an hour, I remember all the channels showing the same thing all day long. My family talked about it for very long, they mentioned the words “attacks” and “anthrax,” words that I did not have knowledge of back then. They seemed worried and warned my brother and I to be careful and not open any mail. As I saw people jumping from the buildings I felt very scared and shocked. Then not too long after that day I remember the news mentioning that “middle eastern terrorists” had attacked the towers, I did not know the reasons of why. I lived far away from the United States when the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 happened.
