5th Grade English class.

That particular classroom had a little hallway that connected to the main office. She was called in there then came back out a few minutes later and said the twin towers had been hit. I didn't recognize the severity of the situation at that time but the look on her face told me it wasn't good.

I didn't see any news coverage until I got home that afternoon. I sat on the coffee table taking it all in. I guess I had a pretty shocked look on my face because at some point my sister walked in and was wondering what was going on and my mom told her this was my first time seeing any video from it.

I traveled cross country the day before. Woke up in my hotel room in San Diego and turned on the tv and right about the time the second plane hit. My mind kept bouncing back and forth from rage to fear to how the frick am I gonna get home?

I never liked to fly in the first place and even if everything wasn’t grounded, there was no fricking way I was getting on an airplane at that point. I spent the day finding a rental car and started my drive home the next day.
