You know, it's weird, I remember more details of where I was when the Challenger blew up more than I do when 9/11 happened. I remember so clearly learning that the Challenger blew up when we were at lunch in school (it was a private school and our asshole teacher wouldn't let us watch). I remember the gasps, the chatter afterwards, I remember one of the girls crying. I remember the asshole teacher just walking back into the classroom to eat his lunch. I remember feeling so devastated because it was a teacher that died.
9/11? I was in my office and someone, I think maybe my dad, called me and told me a plane had hit the first tower. I do remember that I thought it was a Cessna or something, so I didn't think much of it until someone told me about the plane hitting the second tower. I know I took the rest of the day off to watch things live, but I don't remember what I saw on that day and what I saw replayed later.
I was in high school. We were starting 2nd peroid class. One kid said that a plane hit the first tower. We half believed him. Continued on with class. By 3rd peroid, we were just watching live news. I remember also that day 2 kids in my class got into a fist fight. i dont know what about.
