9/11..... It's been 9 YEARS!!!

I was 15. I was in art class at a high school in downtown Nashville. It was terrifying. I had never seen anything like it. I remember not getting home until after 8 that night because there was a bomb threat at the courthouse across the street. We had to stay at school late several times that school year due to stupid threats. I say "stupid" not because I was angry that we had to stay but because none of them were real. Unfortunately 9/11 fueled peoples desire to cause havoc downtown.
 
I was 13.
My mom had woken me up and thought it was a joke when she heard it on my brother's radio.
We turned on the news just moments before the second plane hit. I will never forget the feeling that image evoked. It was a long day worrying about family that worked in NYC.
