i know it happened a while ago (wow five and a half years now) but 9/11 was an important part of our history and all of us lived through it. i was just scross the water on a school trip when we noticed one of the towers were burning. I saw the plume of fire that heralded the arrival of the second plane. If you get a block time time please watch this, its the first daily show after 9/11
