Whether it be the emergency workers, family of victims, students witnessing the event unfold on television, many remember September 11th. I can still remember where I was exactly when this tragic event occurred. I was in the freshman dorm room getting ready for my biology class when my hall mates rushed into my room and told me to turn on the television. It was surreal and felt like I was watching a terrible movie. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the airplane head straight into the World Trade Center. I didn’t have relatives nor did I know anyone directly affected, but it still felt like it hit home. I felt helpless. At that time, I was not an emergency medical technician, so I didn’t know what I could do. I called my mom who worked near LAX and I called my dad who worked at LAX. They both said that this situation was surreal and everyone was taking safety precautions. My dad said he felt like he was in chaos, with of all the flights making emergency landings at LAX.
