Bin Laden is Dead

News Video

 

Last night, President Barack Obama announced that Osama Bin Laden, the head of Al Qaeda, the terrorist organization responsible for the attacks on the US on September 11, 2001, had been killed and that the American forces had possession of his body.  This ended a search that some thought might never end.

Think back to September 11, 2001.  What do you remember about that day?  How old were you?  It was a Tuesday, so most of us were at school or on the way to school.  Do you remember how you felt?  Do you remember hearing a lot about it, or was it just another day?  Tell about your day on September 11, 2001.

Ms. Davis's Answer:

I was a sophomore in college, and since it was the beginning of the year, my roommate and I had not gotten the cable connected yet.  My mom called to wake me up after the first tower had been hit.  Or maybe after it fell.  I remember listening to the coverage on the radio through static and hearing coverage of the second tower falling, and everyone realizing that this wasn't an accident.  Everyone was terribly sad and very afraid.  Many people went to donate blood that ended up not being needed because no one who was at Ground Zero lived.
