9/11 experience

on 9/11 i was not here in the U.S, i was back home in the Dominican Republic and suddenly when this is happening the teacher in my class told us the news, and we didn't really know what was going on. They brought a tv into the classroom and the reporter was getting the information and images of the scene from the other reporters that were in New York city. He had said 2 planes crashed into the towers and another one hit the pentagon and i remember everyone in my class didn't really know what was going on we were not that concerned because it was irrelevant to us since we were so young and didn't even live in the US. My family personally all live in the D.R so the news were not that shocking to us but i know it was a tragic event and i didn't know much about it until i moved here in 8th grade.
