I was in Florida and in second grade. I remember all the news stories about how excited everyone was that then President Bush was coming to FL. On the actual day, I remember I had a substitute teacher. She didn't happen to know all the school rules and when she heard that a plane had hit one of the Towers, she turned the T.V. on(wasn't suppose to do that). I watched the second plane hit and both buildings collapse. I think everyone panicked at that point. On top of that, there was a tornado warning later that day. So everyone was freaking out and rushing into a hallway trying to cover their heads.

I know I'm a week late but I hadn't seen this before. I was in 10th grade (in Massachusetts)...history class and our teacher was going over the 'big events that defined a generation/rocked the country' and, no kidding, he said "The 40s was Pearl Harbor, 60s saw the Kennedy assassination, 80s, the Challenger exploding. Your generation hasn't had an event like this yet but..." and again, all seriousness, a kid ran in the classroom and said a plane had hit the World Trade Center. The teacher looks at him and asks how he knows. "It's on the TV upstairs." He turns to the class as said "Come on." We ran upstairs were the small TV outside the sanctuary (yeah, my school was also a Baptist church) was and I watched in shock as, live, the second plane hit the other tower. We spent the rest of that class watching the news because he said this was history in the making.
We went to math for the next class when another kid came in to say one of the towers had collapsed. Back upstairs where our Bible teacher said anyone going to his class just stay put. When President Busch led us in national prayer, I was crying. The younger kids were told some stuff and my sister, in 6th grade (the school was K-12) was told a bit more but not allowed to watch everything like us high schoolers. They had the projector showing another news station with a second TV showing a third. I vividly remember the dress I was wearing and just sitting on the floor as all this stuff happened. I think, finding out about Flight 93 was both sad and...not happy but...thinking that they were the first to fight back and hoping they would always be remembered for that (and thankful they have been).
Good bless every one of them, both the ones that fought, the ones that didn't get the chance and the ones on the ground that worked to save who they could.
"All gave some, some gave all" and those lyrics fit that day, the following weeks and every day of the past 10 years.
(Long winded I know, but between me being older at the time and having a really good memory I just had to put it all down.)
