I remember turning on the tv, to watch the news, and seeing a tall skyscraper being shown with clouds of billowing smoke coming out of an unnatural hole in the side. I remember noticing that the video being showed had the words LIVE on it. It was surreal. I remember the voice of the news anchors, trying to find the words to explain what was going on. Their voices were tense, scared, but they worked hard to do their job of informing the public to the goings-on in New York, trying to play out whether this was a tragic accident, or a deliberate action. I remember them saying that the Pentagon had been hit, then as they were speaking, another plane came into the camera sights and flew directly into the second tower. I couldn't believe what I saw. Neither could the news anchors. I remember the words "It's official. There has been a Terrorist Attack on the United States" I couldn't breathe, and couldn't take my eyes off the tv.
