On September 11, 2001, I was only 10 months old. I don't have any memory of that day. I heard about 9/11 on the anniversary and knew a little about it but I didn't learn detailed information until about 4th or 5th grade. I remember learning about how many people lost their lives and watching innocent people running from debris and trying to get somewhere safe. I remember seeing people in the windows of the building trying to escape and seeing a man holding a flag out of the window in videos. To me this day is a important day because it was a day when 2,996 lives were lost. It was the deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement officers in the history of the United States, with 343 and 72 killed respectfully. This day did not have an effect on me at the time. As I have gotten older this day has grown to affect me. An effect that makes me anxious to fly in a plane.
This is a picture if the memorial commemorating the September 11 attacks of 2001. The names of the victims are carved into it. This is very important because it helps us to remembers all of the peoples lives that were taken. They will never be forgotten.

out alive.

Once the planes had crashed into the twin towers and the fire was growing bigger many people jumped out of the windows of the building. These people knew that they weren't going to make it out alive so they jumped instead of burning.
