I was in geometry class freshman year and there was an announcement over the loudspeaker for any kids who had parents that worked in the WTC to come down to the office. One of my fellow students said a plane had crashed into one of the buildings. I thought he was kidding. He wasn't, and we later learned that those kids were called down to the office basically to find out their parents had been killed. Rather devastating.
They let us out of school early that day and I could see and smell the smoke from my house (just across the water from Manhattan). We got phone calls from lots of family members who worked in the city saying they were okay and whatnot, but we did end up losing two cousins - brothers - both with small children at home. So yea that day took a toll on my family and it just enrages me to think about it.

That's what she said.
