Where: Viewpoint Houghton, Michigan

I'm a 14 year old from small town Houghton Michigan. And although this terrible event happened 2 years ago, I remember it like it was just yesterday. I found out what had happened while I was in my Aspects of Sports class. Normally that class is terribly boring, and Mr. Powell said he was going to turn on the TV, so I was happy to hear that.

I watched as they showed the footage of the first plane hitting the tall structure. Then out of nowhere the second plane hit. Just then I felt a horrible shock run through my body...

After we all saw what had happened, Mr. Powell turned off the TV. We had a short discussion about the sickening events that had just taken place. For the rest of the school day we kept asking teachers to turn on the TV's to see what happened, but they weren't allowed. They weren't even allowed to talk about it.

When school was over I got home fast as I could and turned on the TV. Then I heard the shocking news.. both buildings had collapsed. And another plane had hit the Pentagon.

As soon as I heard that the buildings had fallen I remembered that I had friends in New York.

I knew 5 people who worked in building 1. Only 2 are alive now to tell their story.

R.I.P. guys.
