Broken Arrow, OK. 10th grade 1st period. I first saw footage of something going on as I was leaving my weight lifting class. It looked like it was from somewhere in England, or thats what I thought based on the building type. I later realized that was somewhere in New York there were showing. When I got to my 2nd period English class, I found out what was going on. We saw that the first tower had been hit by an airplane. My whole class watched as the second tower was hit by another plane. I don't remember much of what was going on but each of our classrooms had TVs. I think it was at the end of that English class that the first tower collapsed. In my 3rd period algebra class we watched the second tower go down. The rest of the day is a blur, but I remember my mother telling me that I would always remember when and where I was when this happened. She said she could recall exactly when and where she was when JFK was assassinated. And its true. I can see and feel the classroom around me when recalling these memories. I remember watching MSN and thinking this couldn't be real.
