I think the first plane hit the building towards the end of my first period math class. Obviously the TVs weren’t on then but by the time I got to my next class, world history the TV was on and everyone was just stunned. I don’t know if other schools did this but we got sent home for the day. I walked home and my mom who is a lifer in the federal government was there as were my grandparents. It was just stunning. My Dad tells me he found out about it listening to Howard Stern and thinking it was a re-run because of the ‘93 attack.
