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.

Similar to my experience. Was late to class. Had computer lab that day. Everyone was huddled around the teacher who were watching something on the monitor. Walked up to see what it was. Wasnt sure what I was watching but it was a replay of the second plane crash. A moment later, it showed we were watching the collapse of the tower and I distinctly remember my teacher commenting as it was going down, "And there it goes." Shit was crazy.
