What Do You Think About 9/11?

       Hi this is Atsushi Hida. I interviewed two people who are my friends about “What do you think about 9/11?” 9/11 was a generic name of four terrorisms that use the airplane in the frequent and simultaneous occurrence in the United States on September 11, 2001. 3000 people died by this terrorism.

One of them is John Schwarzel and we are friends and roommates. I interviewed him and he said, “Hi, my name is John Schwarzel. My opinion on 9/11 is that it was a complete act of terror and its sole purpose was to take innocent American lives. These terrorists sought to make the United States look weak and powerless compared to other countries.”

“I interviewed John Schwarzel.”

After this I interviewed Gunnar Kodas. He is also my friend and my roommate. He said, “Hi I’m Gunnar Kodas, a senior at Avila University. And 9/11 was a terrible day for everyone. I can still remember sitting in my 2nd grade classroom and watching the teacher wheel in the TV so we all could see the tragedy unfold. It was just a terrible day.”

“I interviewed Gunnar Kodas.”

I totally agree with their opinions, it was a terrible day. I was in Japan when this terrorism occurred. I was 10 years old and I was watching TV in the living room with my family. I clearly remember this happen. I thought, "the third World War will start because of this terrorism." at this time. We sincerely wish such miserable terrorism not to be going to occur in the future.
