i just woke up at college and i looked on oa.com and saw the thread. i asked my roommate about it and he said he thought my other friend was making it up. i was just sitting there amazed by the two of them like 'wtf, put the tv on'. after that they finally realized what was going on [this was around like 9 am i think]. then in my dorm building there was this one spot where you were able to look and see the towers [i was in newark] and it was just creepy to see. since my tv reception sucked because we only had an antena, i went into this other kids room and watched it on his tv. after i heard the towers fell i ran back to the window to see, and they were just gone.
i was calling home since i knew my sister worked in the city to see if she was ok, and then later on i got a call from my best friend at the time saying she thinks her dad might be dead, so i stayed on the phone and talked to her for a while.
the next day i got a call from her at like 9 am saying she still hasn't heard from her father and she said "i think i watched my father die" and she was all crying. i still get goosebumps thinking about that. but, luckily for her, they found him later that day.
