Today in Social Studies, we watched a 9/11 video. I had never seen one before, and had not realized how terrifying it must have been. The video was made by a college student, in her NYU dorm. Her name is Caroline Dries, and she was with her roommates. She was awakened by the sound of the first plane crash. They thought it was an accident, but after the second plane crashed everyone understood it was a terrorist attack. The girls screamed in there room, and they noticed things falling from the building, and they realized that it was people, jumping. They were about 8 blocks away from the World Trade Center, and the video gave me chills. I wanted to cry, and I can't imagine what it must have been like for those girls, or the people that were actually inside the building. This is an all-new feeling to me, and when I watch that video, it is hard to keep back the tears. I was only about 3 or 4 when the attack happened, so I do not remember any of it. And, even though I have watched that video a million times, everytime I feel..... It's so hard to explain. Mournful, sad, depressed, I get chills. When I see those people falling from maybe 30 stories high, it makes me want to rewind time and tell someone to put a huge mattress underneath the building. I imagine being trapped inside, burning to death, with NO WAY to escape, a curtain death.1
If you do not feel sorry for the people that had to experience 9/11, then I honestly have to say you are crazy. If you would like to see the video, use this link, and watch it: http://www.history.com/content/9-11/102-minutes#/nyu-dorms/2
It was life changing for me. I know most of you have probably seen something like this before, but I had barely even known what 9/11 was, or rather how terrifying it was, before I watched this video. Please watch it, and if you don't feel any emotion at all, then go see a doctor.
