It wasn't just the 3000 innocent people dying that made 9/11 such a tragedy, or even how they died for that matter. It was the reason 9/11 happened in the first place, and the ramifications that came with it.
I was 16 when it happened as well, and we didn't get any school work done that day. Everyone was too distracted by what had unfolded, and I remember an unsettling feeling that many people in my school thought the worst was yet to come.
