On September 11th 2001, I was in Mr. Halverson's 3rd grade class and we were having cupcakes for Madi Franz's birthday when another teacher came in. She told Mr. Halverson that terrorists had hijacked planes and crashed them into the World Trade Center Towers and to turn on the radio. I remember going home and the news playing the crashes over and over and then the towers collapsing.
Hurricane Katrina in 2005 was another event that I remember vividly. The news showed houses blowing away and people cutting holes in their roof to be rescued by the coast guard.
The earthquake in Haiti in 2010 was a third newsworthy event that I remember from my life. The pictures on the news of concrete buildings with the floors of the building collapsed together like a stack of pancakes. I remember announcements at school encouraging people to text the Red Cross line to donate money for relief.
My Mom's answers. . .
The three news worthy events that I remember from my life are man landing on the moon, the space shuttle challenger exploding and the 9/11 attacks.
