What is happening?
So confused…
The principle said
Two planes chrashed.
Who cares?
That was in New York,
The national trade center.
Can that affect…or…kill me?
Here in Maryland?
Wait, more scary news.
The Pentagon building…
Hit by a plane?
Why…
So scared.
Can this all be true?
Who would run a plane into a building…
Why…
Another plane crash? Pennsylvania?
School is letting out
Two hours early?
What is wrong?
Please tell me.
Why did the principal
Suggest we pray?
Terrorists.
It can’t be.
Why would someone attack
The USA
We are a sleeping giant
The greatest nation…
In the world.
Why…
Attack us?
President George Bush…
On the news.
Thousands killed.
The terrorists will be punished,
He says.
Terrorists…
It can’t be.
Why us?
Why now?
Help me! This nightmare…
Started at 8:45 am…
So confused.
Scared.
Help.
Now.
Why?
Can it be?
The twin buildings.
One hit at 8:45 am
The other at 9:03 am…about
Hijacked planes.
Pentagon building…
Heart and home
Of our defense…
Destroyed?
Our freedom…
Safety…
Protection…
Threatened.
We will fight back.
We will be…
Victorious.
Family’s shattered.
Lives destroyed
Children left without
Parents.
Friendships…
Neighbors…
Killed.
NO! NO!! NO!!!
Why!?
Tuesday, September 11,2001.
The darkest day in Americas history.
Scarier then Pearl Harbor.
Four planes hijacked.
The last pilot crashed
Before the terrorist took over.
War declared
“We have not yet begun to fight”
