I got this image from google and I chose it because you can see the other plane and the damage it did in just two pictures. It evokes such a strong emotion to me because if the other plane hadn't hit, the other building would have been safe and the first image and second image show how long after the second plane hit because the fire in the second image where as in the first image, it's only smoking then.

I haven't seen anything on TV recently but I have seen pictures on the internet lately. It's terrifying really. I could never imagine having someone I love in there or myself and how scary that would be for your life to just be gone like that. I believe the media gives it just enough attention because it'll be the whole day to recognize the day but they don't carry it out for days or weeks.

I remember I was at school and my mom came and picked me and my brothers up and I really had no idea what was happening. I remember being scared because my dad's family lives up there but I wasn't that impacted by it because I was just 6 and I didn't understand. I learned that it was terrorists that were attacking but weren't really heading for NY but it still did happen and it is awful and so many peoples lives were impacted.

Some of the images can be a little too graphic but it really makes you understand how serious it was and makes you more emotional about it rather than not seeing anything and just hearing about it, it wouldn't have such a great impact. I do think the media chooses what to show on TV because they're the ones who decide.
