Sitting in American history class as well. Another teacher walked in during the lecture and whispered something to the teacher, he turned on the tv, watched it for about 10 sec, turned around and said “I think this will be an appropriate lesson for today, those towers will be on the cover of next year’s text books” went to his desk and didn’t say a word for the rest of the class

Yup I can remember it like it was yesterday was watching it on the today show after the 2nd plane hit the tower my wife asked me what the chances of 2 planes hitting them, I told her it was impossible we were being attacked. When she asked what I thought was going to happen I told her there was no choice we were going to war with somebody. Then it dawned on me what the date was.

I remember it all like yesterday. First hit was around the end of first period in math. No one had a clue about anything. 2nd period came and I went to Earth Science lab. I looked out the window to see a gorgeous clear sky, except what looked like clouds being made from something in the distance. It was weird, just a long tail of what looked like a white cloud since it was puffy in the farther away from its origin. Someone came into the room and whispered something to the teach and his face changed, and just stopped teaching. He went to the window and looked toward manhattan. No one would tell us what was going on, but we were in lock-down. I kept watching that weird cloud thing, and then saw a plane go toward it, and continued until it dropped below the tree line, and then LOTS of smoke. Right there I knew something really bad happened, but didnt know what. Kinda looked like a bomb was dropped. Right then Mr Walz said "Start paying attention to the news, because all of your lives just changed." On the way home, I saw the always busy Long Island Expressway completely empty of civilian cars, and a convoy of emergency and construction vehicles speeding toward manhattan on Both sides of the hwy. I can't see the towers from home anymore, and sometimes that still shocks me. And people can say all the bad *** they want about NYer's, but I was damn proud about how we took care of each other for the months after. Thank you to all over our military brothers for taking care of us.

On Saturday, I'll be riding to New York with the Americas 911 Ride to honor all of the victims of that horrible day. Please take a moment and check out their website at www.americas911ride.org, it is a total non-profit organization with all money raised going to first responders. Never Forget.
