Quoted By:
I was in 2nd grade at the time, but I still remember it pretty well
classes were interrupted by an announcement that basically equated to "stfu your teachers need to tell you something" followed by the class being brought to the corner usually reserved for the occasional story book
our teacher then began reading from a supplied memo that a plane had flown into a tower in New York and that we'd have to stay at school a while longer or be picked up by our parents.
I remember thinking that it was just a biplane that had bumped into the tower and crashed, I didn't even consider the possibility of a skyscraper falling to the ground, much less that anyone would do it on purpose.
for the next few years, my morning cereal was accompanied by footage of green tinted firefights in the desert and troops disembarking from cargo planes.
it's the day I lost my innocence
