11. When the 6.8 earthquake hit Nisqually, WA (2/28/2001)
*Shrugs*
12. When terrorists knocked over the World Trade Center (9/11/2001)
I was going to work with my dad.We were driving in the St.George(northern)section of Staten Island.You can see parts of the skyline,and we saw smoke,We just figured it was a boat on fire.About 45 minutes passed while I was at his job,and I had'nt heard anything.I walked into an office and everyone was crowded around a radio,I asked what was goin on and was told to hush.All the sudden this lady on the radio was screaming "Oh my god!! the tower is falling!!" And then I found out.It felt like my stomach just emptied into nowhere.After a few minutes,I ran outside with a few other people to a nearby peir,and thats when I saw it.The most huanting image I'll probably ever see with my own two eyes.Lower Manhattan covered in smoke with one black smoldering tower.I turned to walk away,looked back for a second and the second tower was gone.
