The Unexpected Day

Author's Note: When I was writing this paper, I was thinking about how 9/11 had just come around and I thought that I should write something along these lines because it was an important, tragic, day.

People sprint out the doors of the World Trade Center in a panic. Not knowing what to do, they just kept running. Nobody had a clue what was going on. They didn’t know what happened and they didn’t know why.  People crying and running into buildings that were miles away so they could save themselves. Everyone’s brains were only thinking about one thing. Why did this happen? And for a while, nobody had an answer. September 11, 2001 was one of the most tragic days in United States History.                                                     

Imagine how many people died instantly, right as the planes hit the buildings. All the American passengers that were aboard those planes had no idea that they were being used in war against their country; innocent people who died for no reason. Firefighters and EMTs tried to save as many people as they could from the collapsing towers. Most of the people that died were above and in the burning area of the towers. While the people up above were waiting for the building to fall, their family members, friends, and colleagues were watching from below just couldn’t bear the horror, pain, and suffering.            

Sadly, people frantic people milled around watching from the ground, calling their family and friends, to see if they were still alive waiting for something miraculous to happen, but it just didn't come. The horror only got worse. Some people were talking on the phone when the buildings went down and they heard dead silence on the other end. As people watched on T.V, they couldn’t believe their eyes. Envision the pain that people were feeling. On the other hand, you have to think of all the brave people who went in rather that just running out. One person saved 12 people rather than just saving himself. When an event as horrid as this occurs, that really makes people stick up for others that they possibly never new.

           

One of the most tragic days in the United States History was September 11, 2001. There will always be somebody that wants revenge or for something bad to happen to another place or person. That is why people need to help one another and stay together. Next time there is a danger somewhere, anywhere, no matter if it little or large, stick together and don’t give up.
