What where you doing, and what was your First Reaction...

I was in Gym Class, and we were playing Tennis, when someone ran out and Screamed the Twin towers have been hit, It didn't sink in at that point, I thought it was a small Sesna aircraft, When we went into the school to watch the news, everyone..... was watching a TV.... When it hit me, what was happiing I left school, and skipped work that night, the world had changed....

I was walked into my grade 10 science class and was met by my science teacher having a conversation with a kid whos name is frank. They were talking about hijacked planes and how the telecomunications was down because they had been flooded with phonecalls o find out of people were alright. I went over to them and asked what movie they were talking about, i was quite shocked when they told me that it was all to real and actually happening. Most of the rest of the day was a blur.

I was in 8th grade math class and our teacher wouldn't let us turn on the TV. We were all trying to figure out if it had really happened but he wouldn't let us check on the news. We were all pissed because we could hear all the other classes watching it.

Is it just me or do I feel REALLY old because I was in 10th grade when this happened? Seems like everyone was in 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th grade. Bizarre.

I was in 8th grade and we weren't allowed to watch it for some stupid ass reason. A lot of kids got pulled out of school. I had no idea what was going on. My third hour teacher let us watch it for like 5 minutes before the principal came in and yelled at him.

Don't feel bad, I was out of HS, had woken up a little late, and rushed out the door only catching a quick mention of a plane that had hit the WTC by Matt Lauer on the Today show. Hoped in my truck, put on Howard Stern and realized just what had happened. I got to work and there was a TV on and a bunch of radios. Right after the first tower went down, I was in a meeting and stood up and said I can't do this today, I need to get in touch with my brother (who lives in NYC). Walked out of my meeting, trying to get a hold of my brother on his cell, no connection. I leave work, Howard's still on, trying to act as a line of communication between civil servants (police/firefighters/etc) and the public and trying to keep the listeners informed with as much accurate info as possible. I get home, see the second tower colapse, and realy start to worry. Finally, I get word my brother sent out an email "I'm safe, everyone's crying, I gotta go." His words are eched into my memory forever.

life is too short to have any regrets
