I was sitting on the couch waiting to walk to school (I was in 9th grade) when it first broke, I saw the second plane hit live. Walked to school went to my first period class and the TV was on the news. When the first class started the Principal made an announcement of what was happening and asked the teachers to turn on the TV and if there were any students who did not want to watch could go to the library. I stayed in class and one of the things that stand out in my mind was the audible gasp from the class when the first tower fell, we were in shock. The whole day was a blur after the second tower fell, for most of the day we watched the news as we could not focus on anything else. When I made it home the TV was on and we all watched WTC 7 fell relived that no one was inside. We turned it off after that, had a family dinner, talked about it and went to bed. That night it was silent, it was strange not to hear the sounds of jets at night, that silence really sticks in my mind for some reason.
