9/11

Today during Western Civ. we started to touch base on 9/11 in a random conversation and it honestly lead to a really interesting talk in class. We talked about how after 9/11 airplanes were grounded because of fears from the government and how much 9/11 affected people around us. I for example nearly lost my great uncle but luckily he was in the 2nd tower and managed to escape with his life and some 200 other people he helped to evacuate. See 9/11 was a major tragedy to America but truthfully it helped us grow and notice that our nation wasn't untouchable.
