Answer 1

I remember sitting on the couch in the living room with my mum. She was going through some math problems with me. It was late at night where I am.

Finally, I shut my book and we went into my mum's room where my dad had CNN turned on. We walk in and he goes

"The world trade centres have been bombed"

And we were really shocked. I was very taken aback! I mean I had never seen anything like it, and the footage was horrific.

I hated Osama Bin Laden for doing such a thing, but the following days I just realized one thing. I was amazed at how much destruction one man could bring about.

He did great things. Great, but terrible.

That sound familiar? Hagrid's words on Voldemort :P

Anyway, I didn't think about the impacts on my country, but in the following months, the economy really dropped. dropped like hell. And I mean we are thousands of miles away from America. The pain there must have been just unbearable.

Answer 2

I was very sad because of the killing of innocent people. On the other hand, I knew that i don't have any chance to penalize; the only thing I could do and the only thing I did was condemning. I had the same anger to the murderers and the same affliction for the ones who had been killed in such a barbarian way when a similar terrorist attack happened in İstanbul, Turkey, my country. If killing of innocent people is mentioned, no way to forgive the action and every single person who have responsibility.
It did not affect my whole day because I am aware of the fact that I don't have the power to change the event which happened. However, world should not let these kind of actions happen again. None of kiliing, no terrorist attack, but no war too...
Peace
