Remembering What Happened

[beloitpiper]

I was sitting in my world history class and a woman came to the door. She asked to talk to our teacher in the hallway. When he came back in he told us something was going on in New York and turned on the TV. I just sat there in shock. The rest of the day was a blur of rumors flying around about what happened and what was going to happen. What I do remember is my teacher saying, "This is just the beginning. We're at war now, and some of you [students in thee classroom] will fight and die for it."

Later I talked to my friend who's mom is a flight attendant. She was supposed to be on the second plane that hit the towers but canceled at the last minute because her daughter was sick. I can't imagine what that must feel like.
