Freshmen at Northwestern in Natchitoches. Dorm room getting ready for class and turn on tv to see the news break in. It was a clear and cool morning. Great weather. I was in disbelief. Classes were canceled and I went to the cafeteria to get breakfast and sit and stare at Fox/CNN tvs with other students watching.
I remember people freaking because Bush landed at Barksdale in AF1 when he left Florida with the school kids.
Lots of people started heading out to give blood.
I had a strong urge to call my folks back home and ask if they were alright.

Don't know if you're talking about in Natchitoches or New York... but an interesting thing I was reminded of today I didn't remember from back then...
There was a hurricane like 500 miles almost due east of New York that morning... which was a fortunate thing for NYC that day as the north wind that was blowing in NYC due to the storm was blowing all the toxic smoke out to sea instead of back over populated areas
Imagine if the air was stagnant and pushing the smoke down onto the people in and around NYC
I was in science class as a junior at Brother Martin when we got word of what was happening
