September 11th

September 11th didn't happen the way the mass media claims it did.
Having studied Broadcast Journalism for 4 years, it is important to know that it is up to the individual to take an experience for what it's worth, and not what CNN or NBC chooses in the information realm to display to you.
I did not know to question what I've heard on air at the time September 11th happened.
I was in the 8th grade.
Young and unaware, I can remember my teacher received a phone call on her cell.
Her eyes averted, she gasped, and then she motioned the rest of my classmates to forget the assignment of the day and watch the t.v. she had just turned on.
When the t.v. was turned on, only one tower had been hit. What happened next set the rest of the hallway off in a frenzy. My teacher panicked. I just observed.
School was immediately called off.
I selfishly embraced the situation with slight happiness.
The impact of what had happened didn't phase me until I got home.
I walked inside and my mother was crying. News stations were capturing images of people jumping off buildings.
The only thing my mother could mutter was that she feels so sorry for the families of the victims.
My father retired as the Springdale Fire Chief about 6 years ago.
The situation and the way it paralleled our own lives in the safe town of Springdale, really hit home for her. It could have been my father in one of those buildings.
It was only a matter of place and distance that this tragedy didn't directly impact our own family. The reality of that notion is the resounding memory I pulled away from September 11th.
What outweighs the memory now, is that most of September 11th was a lie.
There is too much information to include in one single blog post about the theories that surround that day. Summed up, and overall, it is important to know that you cannot believe everything you hear. ESPECIALLY from the mass media.
