It was my first time riding one, so I wanted to make the experience memorable. That's why I decided to travel in the front passenger seat with the driver and not in the back seat with the rest of the family. While driving down the road, the driver turned on the radio station. This was the moment I first heard the announcement of the planes crashing into the Twin Towers. At that time, both the north and south towers of the World Trade Center had collapsed. There was no talk of a terrorist attack at the time, I didn't hear about it until later that day when we got home and saw it on the news. The vehicle was stopped at the time, I think we were all in shock and disbelief. I remember seeing the driver with tears streaming down his face. At the time I didn't really know the significance of the Twin Towers, or why anyone would want to attack New York City. All I knew was that the person on the radio kept saying that planes full of people had crashed into the Twin Towers. By the time we got to the meal, everyone was talking about what had happened and their version of what they had heard on the radio. Some said it was a plane that crashed into the World Trade Center, others said it was a bombing. There were many different versions of what actually happened, floating around the room.
