    1.We found a video about a constructor worker named Brian, and he described how the world trade center was very deeply. The thing that I saw that was very atrocious about the world trade center was how horrendous he was saying about the bottom of the world trade center. He explained about how the debris was flying every where trapping helpless civilians into the debris. I thought it was pretty breathtaking on how he explained it.
    2.Well it was different because most of what Brian, the eyewitness said about the attack was very atrocious in dept, than what a secondary source said in the previous video. In the previous video he was talking about what happened, but since Brian was actually there he can identify almost very detail.
    3.Well they give more information because you got the information from the best source, just like a witness of the event.
    4.I really didn't learn as much as myself that I already know. I know more information from myself because I always watch the news I find it entertaining for myself.
    5.I really don't know because I was busy doing these questions.
    6.It was a hotel close to the big event.
    7.It was about people who died in the event.
    8.Because it was a really big event.

  19. The photo gallery that showed a lot of the photos taken on 9/11
    A primary source is something or someone that was there, and experienced it. And a secondary source is something from someone who wasnt there or didn't experience it.
    Because it is from a source that had experienced it.
    That A memorial called Ground Zero is now where the twin towers stood.
    He was the mayor who helped calm and steady everyone in the aftermath.
    The place where the twin towers stood.

    So they can remember the people who had died.

  23. 1. I saw a picture of the plane crashing into the building.
    2. It's different because the picture showed how the plane actually crashed, and the people that were talking on the video werent there to see or feel how it happened.
    3. They are better because they have actual facts and information, and secondary resources just have opinions of what others think.

  25. That all the pictures were really and the timeline on the twin tours
    The people in the video were just telling what they were doing that day when 9/11 happened.

  34. One of the links I pressed on summerized how the twin towers were hit, and below it explained how the twin towers were made.
    The people in the video we saw were not watching what happened, they explained what they were doing at the time, and on the link it explains what they saw and showed us pictures.
    Primary source saw what happened, and a secondary source didn't have as much details that may not be all the way true.

  54. 1. I found that the primary source, because the people who are in the video were almost there, and they talk abut what they saw and was going happen.
    2. The difference that I saw in the first one it was that the people that talks are secondary source and the people who was there are primary source.
    3. The primary source is better than secondary source because the primary source tell the really true and the secondary source are people that wasn't there until they search what really happen.

  59. 1.Looked at photos of the twin towers that fell
    2.The pictures of the twin towers is a primary because they were there to take a picture of them. When people tell you that they heard that the twin towers fell is a secondary.
    3.Primary is better because i person was really there and secondary isn't as good because they weren't really there.
    4.I learned that many people died days after 9-11 because the smoke made them have bad lungs.
    5.He was the mayor of new york.
    6.It is a place for people to remember that day.
    7.Its where the towers use to stand.
    8.Because it was a day when we lost lot of people that lived in our country.
