looking back on Spetember 11th

I look back on September 11th with chills. When I first heard about September 11th 2004, I was in shock. As you might know, there were four planes that crashed. One plane crashed somewhere in Pennsylvania. One plane crashed into the Pentagon. The last two planes crashed into 'the twin towers' or the World Trade Center. At the time of the bombing, my cousin was working in the Pentagon. She luckily was on the other side of the Pentagon. When she heard the crash, she and the other workers at the Pentagon were evacuated. We did not hear from her for weeks, and we were sure that she was dead. We did not give up hope. We would always stay on top of the news to see who died. We were lucky. Three weeks after September 11th, we got a call from my grandmother saying that she was fine. A sigh of relief fell over our family. She was safe, but many were not that lucky. About 5,000 people died from the September 11th bombings, but a few were lucky.
