Three students who were in school in lower Manhattan tell us what they remember about the 9/11 attacks, and talk about their impact on their lives. Dakota Straub is a freshman at Barnard, who was attending Stuyvesant High School five years ago. Sam Hausner-Levine, was going to St. Ann's at the time, and is a senior there now.
