I was in 10th grade when it happened. A friend of mine and I had just gotten off the bus when another friend of ours ran over to us and told us that a plane had crashed into the Twin Towers. At first, I thought it was an accident, too, and that, while it was probably bad, the real gravity didn't hit me. For the first block of school (Algebra II), all we did was watch the TV. It was a very surreal day. I remember seeing the second tower fall. In 2nd block (Human A&P), I remember rumors going around that Pakistan had claimed responsibility. Honestly, after that, I don't remember the rest of the school day. After I got home, my mom and I spent the rest of the day watching TV. It did seem like the entire world had just changed.
