This is a horrific event that happened September 11, 2001 six years ago. This was a planned terrorist attack by Islamic people who were involved with Alqaeda. It was an attack on the United States. Nineteen terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. Two of the planes hit the Twin Towers in New York City.I still remember the terrified voice of my mother when she was telling me about the news when she got home. It all started with my mother and how she found out the news. She heard the news a lot faster then most people in Canada because she works with the government. She called my elementary school and told them to tell me to start heading home at that moment. She wanted me to get home so she could meet me there, just in case something was to occur here in Toronto, Ontario she wanted to be with me. At that point I had no idea what was going on but I listened to my mother and headed home. When I arrived home she called the house once again and told me she was about fifteen minutes away. When she arrived home she explained to me what was going on and immediately I wanted her to call my step aunt to ask her if she was alright, because she lives in New Jersey about forty minutes away from Manhattan. She was fine but her husband at the time was actually in the city. Thankfully he was fine, but some of the people he knew were actually in the towers and didn’t survive.I believe war is not justified because nothing is being solved, people are just dying and it is not right. The Christian teachings tell us to love one another, and war is the wrong answer. I hope everyone has learned to respect every moment of their lives, especially after hearing about this horrible event.
