It sounds so odd, but I was sitting on my teacher's desk in shop class, watching TV, when someone came in and changed the channel. I remember thinking 'What the hell movie is this?' before it sank in what exactly I was watching, and then I ran screaming into the back of the class into the shop for our teacher. (He was working one of the saws with some of the other girls in my class. I had already finished my part with the saw, hence the sitting on the desk watching TV).
All watched for a a few minutes, and then class resumed, with the teacher and the girls going back into the shop and me plopping back on the desk.
I remember watching the new fotage, and that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach as the second plane hit. Just staring at it, before bellowing at the top of my lungs for my teacher as we all realized that the first plane wasn't an accident.
In all honesty, the rest of the day is a bit of a blur. I remember watching the Pentagon, and Pennsylvania, but not where I was or anything like that.
I do remember that the next day in class, there were several people that didn't show up for school.
