I was driving in my parent's car with my mother in the passenger seat when we first heard that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. At first my mother and I looked at each other and blew it off because the people on the radio seemed to show no respect at all. My mother and I blew it off and didn't think anything of it! we thought that it was just a joke when we first heard the story. When I got to school that's all the kids were talking about. I got in class and then i heard that a second one had hit the other trade center building! I just remember feeling terrible because just about an hour ago I had thought it was just a prank that deserved no attention. Realizing now that event would go down in history for the rest of mankind.
