The radio station I was listening to is known for doing morning jokes and skits. I thought it was a joke, at first they were making light of it. I turned to other stations and all the radio stations were covering what happened no music at all. So I decided to go to my mom's house to see what was going on. I walked in my mom's bedroom and watched the TV the first tower was on fire. About 2 minutes later the second plane hits the second tower on live television. We were shocked! Unbelievable! Then the reports started coming in about the Pentagon and the plane crash in the field. The cake topper was when the twin towers crumbled to the ground. My mom and I was crying all those people died. It was really touching, my dad was a firefighter and I looked up to him. He put his life on the line everyday and came home. Some of those firefighters, policemen, first responders didn't come home. It's true we will never forget.
