[QUOTE="Hejdun, post: 331564, member: 839"] [b]Well, as long as I'm in the mood[/b] I woke up earlier than normal, and for some reason, turned on the TV and watched the news right after I got downstairs. It was the first time I'd ever done that. When I turned on the TV, there was a lot of coverage on some sort of explosion in the WTC. I watched a little bit, and CNN had some people talking about what could have caused it, if it was terrorism, etc. At that time, they didn't know that it was because a plane was flown into it. Anyways, they had a guy talking about the likelyhood that it was a bomb or terrorism, when I saw the massive explosion in the television screen. Before I left for school, they were showing clips of the second plane hitting the second building. I got to school and started talking to my teacher before school, and I asked him if he saw what was happening. He hadn't, so I filled him in and we watched the TV until school started. Sometime around then, there was a school-wide announcement about what was happening, and they promised to keep us up to date (they didn't), but specifically forbid us from watching the TV. Well, in first period we... watched TV. Not a whole lot more than that. The next period my friend and I tried to come up with how many people were killed, and came up with around 2,500-3,000 (I look back on that now and think that it was in callous taste). School went by as normal, and I heard rumors about the other towers collapsing and the Pentagon getting hit. I thought that the last plane was shot down when I first heard about it, before anyone knew what really happened. When I got home I watched the TV pretty much endlessly with my family. I called a few friends, and when I couldn't watch the TV anymore, I gamed. Yup, gamed. I guess it's the default method of breaking away for a little while. [/QUOTE]
