In health class. There was a bunch of confusion around the school, and the teachers where running around between the classrooms talking. I didn't really pay attention to it then, nor do I now. Started a spur of forced patriotism through the district, as well as a reintroduction to the moment of silence during morning services.
I was in 2nd Grade at the time I was at school and then I was sent home early probaly because I live in Northern Virgina which was close enough for them to be worried I still remember walking through the door and being greeted by the TV displaying the towers falling. I also rember going to the park and it closing early as well, and being only 7 and not having a full understanding of the situation I just said "Stupid planes" or something like that because I hated having to leave the park.
Fair enough; you and me are using different search bars.Avykins said:
According to wikipedia the first plane hit the first tower around 14:00 local time here, so I'm guessing you're right and I have the day wrong - seems more obvious than there being a full day delay in the news getting through. Still odd though, I'm 100% sure it's the wednesdays we were off early. Oh well.j0frenzy said:
I was waking up from a hangover, seriously. My sister called me from her work, woke me up and told me to watch the news.
In bed probably.
I don't remember much about it.
Apart from the fact that later that day at school, a student who had immigrated from Afghanistan at a young age was blamed for the attack by another student.
Awkwardness ensued.

I was in 8th(?) grade, not sure and remember that my teacher left and I heard from him that all of the teachers were leaving to go have an 'emergency meeting' and they would not let any of us leave for any reason- even for the bathroom. They had security roam the halls
Most of us shrugged it off, some thought about Solid-snaking it to the bathroom. Then our teacher came back in and the principal asked the teachers to turn on the TVs... and the rest is obvious.
EDIT: Oh, and I remember that my classmates were saying "OMG, was it the Germans!" "no idiot, it was the soviet union again!"
and that still makes me laugh to this day
