[QUOTE="Grim, post: 334634, member: 132"] I was just getting up (Pacific Coast Time) when my mom started screaming after turning on the TV. We watched in horror, and then I had to go to school. Meanwhile my family was calling our reletives, making sure they were safe. School was morbidly calm. All we did in class was watch TV, debate, whisper rumors (most of my classmates were convinced there was a 5th plane at larger), and watch the skys as the air traffic ground to a halt. Living in the bay area, where there are 3 major airports, planes are a common, common sound. Those 7 days after the 11th were deadly quiet. When the planes started flying, I was almost afraid to leave my house. My school started seriously cracking down on lax policys for disaster scenerios. We had a "lock down" drill, in case there were terrorists or shooters in the school. (it basically entailed the teachers locking all the doors and us hiding under our desks, even though every classroom has big clear windows along one wall.) We had an "emergency drill", a fire drill, and earthquake drill, etc. All within days of the 11th. Our drills were basically pointless. Lowest bidder constructed desks were not going to protect us from an earthquake. No one would really stay calm in a fire, and no one would sit through a school shooting. But they were all the administration could do to protect us The things men cling to in uncertain times... [/QUOTE]
