O_O I'm scared...
I can't really write too much at the moment, because more than half of what I did in school was talk about, or watch the terrorist situation, so I'll copy what I wrote at AE.
"I understand that this is somewhat of a tragedy. OK, big tragedy, and somewhat of a national safety issue, but I think the high school I go to school overreacted.
All after school activities: canceled
All sporting events: canceled
School locked and empty by 3:00
Everybody on the bus, or in a car, no walking home
I've never seen the halls and parking lot empty so fast.
It was scary watching it in class, we didn't do anything else in U.S. History. It's scary seeing a big landmark just... go. Both the WTO's tower fell in less than an hour, and the pentagon was hit. I've heard that a plane with a bomb was forced to land in a nearby town, and I don't know where it was flying, but that's kinda scary to hear.
On the upside, I've never heard so many people in the school talking about current events or politics. That was nice. ~_^
But still.. it's pretty O_O. I understand terrorist attacks are very common things, but they seem to rarely hit the U.S., especially not in such a large scale thing. That's really really scary."
If it kinda sounds like I was defending a point, I sorta was, somebody said that it's not as big a deal as CNN and the like are making it. I agree, but not to the extent of the person who wrote that.
I think I'll go back into shock now...
