My sister and I were still at home eating breakfast, watching coverage that was being aired on The Today Show and wondering what was really going on in New York City.
I had barely begun my middle school years (I was 11) and my sister had barely begun her high school years (she was 14), but as we were watching the coverage, we had a thought; Will something similar happen on the West Coast?
(Thankfully of course, nothing like that happened on the West Coast. Before we left, we saw both buildings of the World Trade Center collapse and we couldn't find any words to describe what we saw.)
When we arrived at our schools, the principals of our schools said very much the same thing over the intercoms: "There has been a pair of bombings in New York City and another just happened in Washington DC. Portland is not in any danger right now, so please go on about your day."
