I was a Junior in HS. My HS was so overcrowded that my math class was in an audio room of the library. It was just a normal day until someone ran into the room and said that a plane hit one of the world trade center buildings. We all thought it was an accident and then about 15 minutes later, someone else ran in and said that another plane hit the second tower. At that point, we knew this was no accident. My teacher stopped with the lesson and there was a TV on in the library so we all went to watch until the period ended. As I was watching, I was thinking of something that happened in 1998. We bomb the Afghanistan terror training camps and I remember Osama Bin Laden said in a newspaper, "Worst is yet to come."
When the period ended, we all headed to our next class which was homeroom. Everyone was talking about the WTC and we were all shocked.
While sitting in homeroom, an announcement by the headmaster was that a plane hit the pentagon. I can remember seeing everyone's face, we were all terrified. Ten minutes later, I was called down to the office, I was told that my mother called for me to get in my car and come home. There were rumors of multiple planes hijacked and will be hitting multiple landmarks in multiple states. Rumors of the Lincoln tunnel bombed, my mom's bf at the time who was a cop was ordered to go and defend Sikorsky in case of an attack. Once I got home, my eyes were glued to the tv. It's all I watched. Our world changed that day, and it was never the same after that. I will never forget that day even though it seems a lot of people did.
