I was in my 7th grade health class when the teachers start talking about it then turn on the news , we watch in silence as the second plane hit the tower. Can't forget that moment, too surreal.
That's one thing they wouldn't do here. Because so many people from this area worked in the towers or nearby, they wouldn't even talk about it to the kids. There were lots of kids whose parents didn't come home that night.
I picked up my daughter at school that day and she asked me if something bad had happened at my work. At the time, I worked in a 21 story office building. I told her that I was fine, and she said that mine was the tallest building she knew and that she heard two of the teachers saying that something bad had happened in a tall building.
