When the principal came on the loud speaker, I had chills going up through my back. The principal told us that planes had been hijacked and flown into the trade centers. He then informed the teachers that it was o.k. to turn on the television for the class to watch. Then informed that if anyone needs to go home, that is fine. The rest of the day was very very quiet for all of us. Lunch which is normally very loud, was very quiet.

It was just a horrible day. I will never forget where I was.
===================

Working at a large facility, just north of DC in the USAF. The base was on lockdown for while. it was an interesting few days. We were locked in with only the TV and CNN "reporting what they knew".
