For most people, of the four crashes the two in New York are the ones they remember, or effected them the most. Not that they were more imporant or anything like that, but because they are the most visual(seeing them live) of the four. However where I live the crash in somerset county was definatly the one that effected me the most. Where I live is 10 miniutes(by plane travel) away from where the crash site is. Its a scary thought to think something like that could happen in the countryside.

I was in 6th grade at the time, and during the day(after this happened) kids were being taken home right and left. None of us knew what was going on, they didn't tell us at first because we were in the elementary school still. But later in the day they took the 20 or 30 kids left in the grade(less then half of the grade), put us all in a room and told us what had happened. Being 11 I really didn't know what to think.. "what was a terrorist attack?" "who was driving the plane?" ect..And then to come home and watch it on tv was something I probably won't ever forgot(i'm not sure who would forget it)

If there is a "good side" to any of it, its that it showed the true american attitude. We mourn, take time to remember those who lost their lives and the familes who deal with their losses. But then we move on, take action and don't let it effect our country as much as the terrorist would of liked to see. A lot of people blame the president, the government saying that they knew it would happen. They might of known, but fact is, it already happened and there is nothing you can do. The "blame game" won't bring anybody back. All you can do is accept that it happened, remember those that it effected the most/lost their lives, and move on because thats what you do in america.
