The day had started as usual, but staff and teachers started going in and out of classrooms whispering to each other. There was an anouncement by the principle over the PA saying that teachers were not to turn on the TVs under any circumstance. Our teacher looked up at the PA speaker, looked at us, and said, "If they want the TVs off this bad, it's history in the making, and this is something you need to see." He then turned on the news, and that was what we did for the rest of the class. I saw the second plane hit live, and watched the towers collapse live. Never forget.

I was in junior high, walked into Science class and was the first kid to arrive. The teacher had the wall-mounted TV on and it showed the twin towers with one of them smoldering. I watched in real time as the second one hit. I was 13.
