The Day We Will Never Forget.

My friends and I were walking to the Twin Towers. And while we were walking we heard a loud explosion and debris was flying everywhere. Turns out on September 11 2001, between the hours of 8:46am-10:28am in New York city two planes crashed into the Twin Towers, this was also known as 9/11. Approximately 3,000 including 19 hijackers were killed, and more than 6,000 were injured. Both of the towers collapsed within 2 hours. I remember it like it was yesterday. After the explosion we ran to the scene. People crying, screaming, at all the dead body laying everywhere, people injured struggling to get away from the building. We see this one women holding her 5 year old son in her arms screaming help, her leg was broken, and her son looked very hurt, bleeding from his head, ripped clothes, and scratches all down his body. Surrounded by bodies, we ran to the women to see if she was okay, she told us her name was Lauren, and she asked us to find her little 12 year old girl, and she gave us a picture. Swerving through injured people and bodies, we find her little girl, laying on the ground she looked dead, we go to get the body because that's what Lauren asked us to do for her. As we got closer to the little girls body we heard crying, she wasn't dead, just very hurt. So My friend and I started explaining to her what happened, and said we know where her mom is and we were going to take her to see her mom. I picked her up, she was crying, One of my friends gave her a sweater to put over her eyes so she wouldn't have to see all the bodies laying on the ground. We finally get to Lauren, Shes so happy to see her baby girl is alive. A few moments later we find out that Osama Bin Laden was not caught. Eventually the ambulances came and brought Lauren and the kids all got into ambulances. Everything was getting cleaned up and we went home. This is the day we will never forget.
