My turn. I was in 5th grade and to not scare or traumatize the elementary age kids, the teachers kept quite about the entire affair, though I'm sure the teachers lounge had the television running on channel 3 all day. But looking back at it I realize now things were different, one of my friends moms came and pulled him out of school early (in fear that our little suburban elementary school of 200 kids in some random part of Connecticut was on the talibans list of targets)  
  
to be fair the actual identity of the attackers were still unknown, so whether it was a terrorist attack to destabilize American financial and political intustutions was basically a clear motive of those involved. But I'm sure irrational thoughts of America just being attacked from all angles, all institutions, anyone and everyone was potentially a target, Russia or China could of been sending in mass kamikaze jets (since those chinamen are known for their kamikaze suicide missions) jk, that's a racist American misclassification of all Asian or oriental people being the same whether they're from China Japan Thailand Korea, ect. I'm sure Matt and Peter are familiar with being lumped in to some culture they know nothing about, like what will you guys be doing for Chinese new years? Anyways a little off subject, let me get back on topic.   
  
So anyways I got home and my friend called our house phone, his name was Matt Ronc, we were basically unspeperable, our closeness of friendship would of had any homophobic father concerned about his kid growing up to be some faggot. That wasn't the case though, my dad wasn't that type of dad though he did bust my balls often when Matt would call by saying "Dan your boyfriend is on the phone" so it deffinetly was a slight fear in the back of his head. Our friendship was a true friendship, we were unaware how middle school would drive a wedge between us ultimately becoming distant strangers. But that was a year away, so we were ignorantly unaware of our upcoming fallout.  
  
So he called me exclaiming about the plane flying into the twin towers. I asked him what the twin towers was, despite his confidence in how serious he was about the news, we both were like eleven and were totally unaware of the twin towers until this moment. But I turned the station from TRL which was like what me and brother would watch after school at this age and instead watched the replays of the days footage of the planes crashing and towers collapsing, the eventual death toll would be revealed and the true horror of what occurred had hit me in the coming days, and years, and decades.
