I was on Long Island when this happened. I was in 6th grade social studies. When the first plane hit, we heard a few of the teachers running throighthe hallways, yelling. When the second plane hit, everyone suspected an attack and was speculating who did it.
By the time the towers fell, we could see the smoke and ash cloud from our classroom (couldnt see the city).
Two teachers from my school lost loved ones. The PE teacher quit his job and joined the military.
That moment put me on a path that would have me join the military out of high school and finally deploy with 5th Special Forces group in 2011.
9/11 was the defining moment of our generation and the world was never the same.
