Reading anything that mentioned a tragedy that actually happened in our lifetime was really surprising. Many people talk about the holocaust, the wars, JFK dying, anything in the past are things we talk about in our history classes, things we talk about that we haven't been through. But 9/11, people don't really exactly talk about it. I guess they did when it first happened, but now, it's like people are trying to hide the fact that it happened. Or they just don't want to be reminded of what they went through that day, or week.
It reminds me of something my high school history teacher said. He said something about the Holocaust being removed from history books in the future...well who knows if this is true because this is a teacher who stretches the truth a lot...but he said that all the people that lived through it are either dead, or really old, basically going to die sometime in the near future. So once they're gone "we'd have no proof this actually happened."
It also reminds me of what I went through that 9/11. Ok, it's really stupid, but I guess I'll mention it anyway. I remember me and my sister at the park with a couple of friends, and all of a sudden one of our friends sister came running saying that there were a lot of cars at the gas station. A LOT. She said some kid got ran over and that everyone wanted to see what happened. Well, we later found out that the kid being ran over wasn't even close to the truth. I guess everyone just wanted to get gas because they all thought the prices would rise really high, so they wanted to get it while it was really cheap. I found this out while my dad picked us up, and we saw my aunt walking towards her home. We gave her a ride and she told us about the towers and the gas thing. yeah...then the next day we go to school and literally every teacher has their tv on watching the news.
