I was on my way to my school and heard that a plane had crashed into one of the towers—made me think of when the bomber crashed into the Empire State Building during WWII.
I wasn’t scheduled to teach that day—I was to work on a ‘technology plan’ for the school with another teacher and we spent the day watching the developments on TV. Second plane crashed and everyone realized that this was no accident and was no small plane.
There are two news events frozen in my memory—JFK’s assassination when I was in high school and 9/11. My parents had Pearl Harbor and FDR’s death.
Right. The images are just seared on our memories. Every detail.
