I was at home getting ready to leave for class at MCCC (Mercer). I went on the internet as I do every morning and read a thread on another message board that the tower was on fire. I turn on the tv in time to see the second plane hit on live tv. I then listen in my car on the way to class. I get there a little early, and the next room over has a computer playing it live on the projector. I go to class, and it's normal, except one kid comes in and says "I dunno if you heard, but the World Trade Center has been hit, my dad works there. I'm not going to be in class today." The prof hadn't heard anything about it, so he kept right on going. I then went to the park to listen on the radio between classes, and when I went back for the afternoon class, they closed the school. I drove to work, where they said most kids were getting picked up and they didn't need me, so I went home and stayed glued to the TV for the next few days.
