What Really Happened

While watching On Native Soil you experience the most uncomforting feeling when you see these images. I was only in 5th grade when this happened. Back then I had no idea what a terrorist was or about all those events that lead up to 9/11. Watching this movie opened my eyes to many of the things i had no idea about. Hearing the flight attendants talk to the flight control was very scary. The feeling that something bad was going to happen and you had no control. All you could do it wait. Watching the first plane crash into the tower and later seeing the second tower being hit after those people were assured they were safe. The police and fire fighters rushing to help, putting there lives on the line. Bring hope to those people and the families. The worst part is waiting and seeing what was going to happen next. I can't imagine what it felt like to have a love one in there. As the tower burned and people rushing to get out other felt no hope, they did not want to see what would happen next. So they jumped ending their lives. After a couple hours of having the towers hit and they fell to the ground was so heart breaking. Thinking about all of the people who died and at that point went missing was so hard. After reflecting about this movie watching it change many thoughts and feelings i had about 9/11.

When 9/11 happened thousands of people lost their lives while other lost a part of their families. September 11, 2001 was only the start of a long struggle for the people who lost a family member or a friend. Nothing will ever be the same. All of the unanswered will always linger in there mind . They will always wonder what if. Some so hurt by it will try to over come the grief but cant seem to move on. Losing someone you love takes years to get over. Every year on that day of death you revisit the pain you felt. One of the hardest parts every year for these people is on September 11th is seeing those buildings get hit by a plane and later fall to the ground with your love one still inside. So you asked are these peoples everyday life changed? They wake up everyday hoping that person is waking up with them or going to walk through that door. They see a picture and remember everything about that person gave to the world and your life. But it was all taken away by people with so much hatred in there heart. There lives are forever changed.
