Also, she was late to work, and she was told that there was a terrorist attack. She worked two blocks away, so she could've gotten hurt. ]]> 2016-09-12 15:15:53 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123168344 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123168371 The most surprising piece of information that I found out from my interview is that my grandfather who was an ex-firefighter went to Ground Zero everyday after 9/11 for weeks to try and help find the bodies of his friends. I realized that even the people that weren't firefighter or police officers were still helping out. A very impactful thing that I found out is that my mom who had my one-month-old sister at home was very scared that she would not come home one day because she commuted to work everyday in New York City]]> 2016-09-12 15:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123168371 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123168699 The two most important pieces of information that I learned from my interview this weekend is that my aunt saw the burning buildings, but not the actual attack and that my parents donated money to the 9/11 memorial foundation.]]> 2016-09-12 15:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123168699 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123168852 The two most surprising pieces of information I learned from my interview this weekend was that my mom was very good friends with one of the firefighters who passed away in the building and my mom was in New York at her job when it occurred. These were very influential because it lets me know that my mom went through a lot, and it made me look at my mom differently.]]> 2016-09-12 15:16:42 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123168852 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123168904 The 2 most interesting thing I had gotten from the interview I did during the weekend was that the 9/11 attack was broadcasted around the world only a few hours after the attack. This caused people on the other half of the world, places like India, to start questioning their own defense, and whether they could defend against an attack like this]]> 2016-09-12 15:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123168904 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169285 One of the most surprising things that I learned was that people were jumping out of the building. It was so influential because it is really sad that people were doing that because they didn't want to die like other people did. I did not that. Also, another surprising things I learned that one of my mom's friend's son worked in the building and that he stayed home because his daughter had strep throat and that is the only reason he is alive today because he worked on the 97th floor. That is influential because he could have died if he didn't choose to stay home with his daughter. ]]> 2016-09-12 15:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169285 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169291 The two most important pieces of information that I learned from my interview this weekend were about Flight 93 and the Twin Towers. Before this weekend, I did not know much about Flight 93. I learned that there were 4 terrorists on the plane. The passengers took a vote on whether or not to attack them. They also believed that there may have been a fifth terrorist, since the other hijacked planes had 5. They think the fifth terrorist might have been denied access to the U.S. I also learned that the North Tower was hit about 20 minutes before the South Tower. However, it fell about 20 minutes after the South Tower. I found that interesting, as the North Tower, though hit sooner, stood longer. I wonder if that might be because the hit on the North Tower was was not as destructive as the hit on the South Tower.]]> 2016-09-12 15:17:29 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169291 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169321 The two most important pieces of information I learned from my interview were that  the terrorists specifically targeted  planes with large fuel tanks so that they would cause huge fires when they crashed and that  the attacks happened so quickly that nothing could really be done to help the people trapped in the upper floors of the building. I was influenced by this information because it shows how the United States was vulnerable to attack and how we took the attacks by surprise.]]> 2016-09-12 15:17:33 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169321 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169323 The two most important and impactful pieces of information I learned from my interview were that one of my mom's friends who worked with her had a mother that was a flight attendant  on an American Airlines flight and American airlines was the first pane to hit one of the towers. Luckily they found out later that she wasn't on that flight that hit the tower. Another important and impactful piece of information I learned was that my aunt/ mom's sister worked in one of the towers. Luckily she ironically decided at the last minute not to go to work and this ended up benefiting her well because she could've passed away if she had gone to work that day.]]> 2016-09-12 15:17:33 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169323 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169585 The two most important pieces of information that I learned from my interview this weekend was the my dad and uncle both went under the towers through the Path train. I am thankful that they both didn't go that day, because if they were on the train during that day, they could've possibly not be alive today. Additionally, I learned that a former neighbor of mine worked in the Towers, but fortunately was in another building across the way. He has been traumatized and scarred for the past fifteen years,  by the sight of people jumping out of the building because they knew they had no other choice to live. This was an influetional ]]> 2016-09-12 15:18:06 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169585 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169735 Two most surprising pieces of information I learned from doing my interview this weekend was that my dad's boss was on one of the planes crashing into the building and this was scary because it was my dads second day on he job and he never met him. This impacted by dads workers because they were all petrified and could not stop crying of this tratigy.]]> 2016-09-12 15:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169735 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169848 The two most important piece of information I learned was that my mom was apart of 9/11 and how she described the smoke. My mom got off the train to go to work then the plane hit. She told me that she was helped by a man with a strange tattoo. That showed me that help anybody don't know or know no matter what. Then my told how you couldn't really breath see in the smoke]]> 2016-09-12 15:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169848 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169902 The two most important and impacting pieces of information I learned from my interview this weekend were about the misery the 9/11 attacks caused, and the amount of clutter and chaos. There were many funerals for months and months, and whenever they found the remains of someone else, there would be another funeral. My uncle told me the hardest part of it all was to see the kids holding their parents helmits. Also, there was a ton of clutter to clean up from the falling towers. ]]> 2016-09-12 15:18:40 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123169902 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123170031 Two important pieces of information that I learned was that smoke covered the buildings around the world trade centers. People couldn't even see out the windows or use the air conditioners or vents. It was also interesting that the transportation was all down when the planes hit the towers. That includes ferries, subway trains, and taxis.]]> 2016-09-12 15:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123170031 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123170038 The two most important or surprising things that I learned from my interview were that my dad was working in the city that day and he was almost in the tower that day ]]> 2016-09-12 15:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123170038 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123170058 The two most important or surprising things that I learned from my interview were that my dad was working in the city that day and he was almost in the tower that day and he.]]> 2016-09-12 15:18:55 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123170058 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123170211 A surprising fact I learned while interviewing my mom was that she had friends and colleagues that died when the towers were attacked. Another surprising fact is that my mom worked in the Towers for many years, but the year that the attack happened, she couldn't get a job there, despite her previous employment. It was actually a good thing that she didn't get the job though, because she would have been in the Towers when they were attacked. She might not be alive if she had gotten that job in 2001. ]]> 2016-09-12 15:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123170211 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123170391 The 2 most important/surprising/impactful pieces of information I learned from my interview this weekend  I learned were..... the terrorist attacked us because they wanted revenge, and did not agree with our lifestyle, also someone from my family was in the tower.  Each piece of information so influential.... because I never knew about these two and it hit m right in the face and then it made so much sense.]]> 2016-09-12 15:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123170391 https://padlet.com/brittanymcgarry/911mcgarry5/wish/123170664 About the bombing that had happened before.

Is that one, my mother and father haven't known what was happening until they got home.
 More people started dying AFTER the attack because of inhalation of the smoke and chemicals.
