I was in the 4th grade when this happened. My school had a direct view of lower manhattan, you could see the rising cloud of smoke as the buildings burned, we were then evacuated to the basement where the cafeteria and gymnasium were. Parents came and picked up their kids, my mom came and picked me up. As I was walking home the towers had already fell and everyone from lower manhattan were moving up towards midtown. I'll never forget that walk home that day, I remember seeing tons of people all covered in dust and ashes and coughing and being helped by other pedestrians. This one woman was completely covered in grey, you could not see a single color of clothing on her or anything. School was canceled for a few days after that day.
Condolences to all the innocent people who lost their lives there
What I'll be doing tomorrow? Watch some sports and do homework at the same time
