Remembering 9/11

I honestly don't remember what class I was in 8 years ago today. All i can remember is that the teacher turned on the television and ever single channel was covering the attacks on the twin towers. The weeks following the attacks, people where discussing if another attack was going to take place and what we were going to do about it.
I think that 20 years from now, people will still remember 9/11. The fact that terrorists hijacked planes just to kill so many Americans will live on in everyone's lives.
Terrorists choose to attack America, in my opinion, because the United States is helping the government in Iraq. The terrorists were mad that the U.S. was there and took retaliation.
I do not know anyone that was directed affected by this event so i will never know how they truly feel about it.
If I were to right a story on 9/11, I would write the story in a miraculos survivors point of view. Someone who somehow lives when there is not chance of survival is very amazing and I think many people would want to read it. It would include the time when the attacks happen and what he has to go through to survive.
