9/11...RIP to the innocents...

i was asleep when it happened since i live on the west coast. i can remember being woken up at about 5-6 a.m. when my dad called the house on his way to work and my mom answered the phone and i think she said "are you serious? 2 planes hit the twin towers?". i didnt think of it as anything since i'd never heard of them. then i walk into my math class(8th grade) and notice the substitute teacher had the tv on to the news watching the same thing that my mom had said over the phone. it was then i knew it had to have been something serious.

Crazy to hear other people's experiences that day. Thanks to everyone who replied so far. =]
