Something I posted on another board, but the thread got locked due to conspiry theorists.

I remember it clearly enough.
I was in grade 11.
I was late for school, and was reading some book on the busride there, so I heard nothing on the radio.

Got into class at about 9:45. First class went by like nothing was happening.

Had french class 2nd period. A classmate of mine told me that the cafeteria in the WTC had caught fire. I thought that was bizzare, if a little funny too.

Then, 10 minutes later, the principal announces over the intercom, through tears, that we should pray for the victims and hope for a good end to all this. We still dont know what the **** is happening, its about 11.

French class ends, everyone runs for the TVs, and all we see is New York blanketed in smoke, and the WTC is gone.

MRE class was next, and the teacher pointed out we weren't going to listen to anything he said, so he brought us back to the TVs, untill a VP shooed us away.

In Economics class, our teacher gave a 10 minute speach about how the world would never be the same, and how it would drastically effect the economy, and then he let us listen to the radio for the rest of the class. This was usually a class room where noone listens to the teacher and everyone chats, but everyone was very quiet that day.

I still remember a couple of days later, when the first planes started taking off from St. Hubert airport (about a 5 minute drive from my HS), every kid around only stared at the plane till it was safely out of sight.

That day started my addiction to watching the news, like CNN.
