I've lived in central Jersey my whole life, so I was near the city (NYC) when it happened. I was in 5th grade and everyone was getting picked up during the day, so I was really suspicious. So I took the bus home and saw it on TV and thought it was a joke or something. Sadly, it wasn't, so we drove over to a lookout point across New York Harbor and just watched the smoke go. It was one of the saddest things I had ever seen and still makes me feel sad when I see footage of it. Thank God I didn't lose any friends or family that day, but my heart goes out to the people I know who had lost family members on that day. This truly was an American tragedy. 1

A rather normal day. Some people were deeply saddened but I wasn't really because I live 800 miles away in St Louis. To me, it was of little importance. Although I pity those who died or lost loved ones on 9/11, I have no friends or family in New York city, or New York State, or the north east at all. And I may sound cruel, but I tire of listening to Missourians who are saddened by the thought of 9/11 as if they were there, or less than 800 miles away for that matter. 1
