September 11,2001

9-11
September 11 was a tragic day...
How old were you on September 11, 2001?
I was 3 years old and i cant remember what i was doing but i knew what age i was and new i was alive  and would of probably been doing something unimportant.
2. When did you first learn about the attacks and who explained the events to you?
I first learned that someone had took the plane with passengers and drove it to the twin towers killing them selves and everyone in them this happened twice my dad said. 
3. What kind of impact did these attacks have on your life or your parents lives?
i feel that the thought of nearly three thousand Innocent people dying is horrible. When i had herd who had bombed the World Trait Center i was angry. I felt like wanting to do something to change the history of this happening but i knew i did nothing. Hoping community would donate money to help the one's that have suffered and in need. Someone needs to step up and help them. Ten years passed it now the tenth year since the twin towers collapsed finally the people that have suffered from it have recovered.
1. What was the issue with this game?
The issue is creating a game that makes fun of a incident with such magnitude is no laughable matter.
2. How do you feel about it?
I feel that people are going to get seriously offended because of this game.
3. What is the problem with portraying on such an awful violent event through a video game?
Posting a game that creates such a bad feeling about 9-11 especially knowing that thousands of people past away during that  incident is completely insane.
4. How can you make sure that your web games tell the whole story or teach a lesson in an honorable way?
By showing facts and statements about the commemorated situation that you're trying to create you're game about. not showing blood and gore that game would of been very offensive to several people
