One of those days I'll never forget. I was in High School, 4th period, just got out of Economics when I heard someone mention a plane hit the WTC. I thought the kid was just being an idiot but after walking through the hallways you could tell the staff was preparing for some chaotic events.

I went home with a few friends, most of the seniors left that day to watch the news. We were watching the live feed when we saw the second plane hit; it was so surreal we all just sorta stared at the tv in silence.

My brother works in the city and had to walk home over the bridge that day, luckily he was ok. I had a lot of friends in school lose family members that day, definitely one of those events that gets etched into your memory.
