I remember the day well. I was listening to the radio when I heard the DJ announce that a plane had crashed into one of the World Trade Centers; initially, they thought that it was a small airplane. I turned on the TV to watch the second passenger jet purposefully fly into the second World Trade Center. I said to myself, "al-Qaeda." This wasn’t the first time that they attacked America. | ||
