ABSTRACT

The day that changed everything began for me at 5:50 a.m. I woke up and turned on the television to

watch some news. This was early Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001. My local news station had just

interrupted its regular broadcast and switched over to CNN, so right away I knew something important

had happened. I learned an airliner had crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade Center in

New York.
