I was at school, in English, in the 7th grade. A teacher came into my class and told my teacher to turn on the TV. The news station was really quiet, like we were just observing, and of course they didn't know much, so all we thought we were watching was a building on fire. So far at that point, only one plane had gone in. So we were all like "o.O hm.. why are we watching this? So what, a building is on fire.", then.. another plane went in, and then we were all like "O_O Oh shi-!", then we realized it wasn't some accident, like a plane flying too low. A lot of the parents came and picked up their kids. Our principal came onto the intercom, bawling, and said if our parents wanted to take us home over this, we were excused.

Just the thought of that day makes me want to cry.
