Well I was in school leaving my Econ. class when first heard about the planes. At first I didn't believe it I thought it was a joke that was being passed around to scare the New Yorkers in my school. So continued to walk to my next class and notice nobody was in the halls I walk by a small classroom with a TV and about 40 people in it with there eyes glue to it. I walked little futher to a lounge which was also packed with people watching CNN the first thing I saw was a reporter talking about a plane hitting the World Trade Center then they showed a clip of the plane hitting it. It was the most gut wrenching thing I have ever seen. At that moment I notice that world is not what it seemed. School was canceled for the day and we all went back to our dorms and glued our selves to a TV.
