Tuesday, September 11, started off like any other day at
Stuyvesant High School, located only a few blocks away from the World Trade
Center.

The semester was just beginning, and the students, faculty,
and staff were ready to start a new year. But within a few hours on that
Tuesday morning, they would share an experience that would transform their
lives--and the lives of all Americans.

This powerful play, written by students of Stuyvesant High
School based on their interviews with the school community, remembers those who
were lost and those who were forced to witness this tragedy. Here, in their own
words, are the firsthand stories of a day we will never forget. This collection
helped shape the HBO documentary In the Shadow of the Towers:
Stuyvesant High on 9/11.
