It was junior year of HS during gym, I was in the weightroom with a few friends and the principal came on the loudspeaker for us to stop what we were doing and listen. As a lot of you said, we all thought "some idiot flew a little plane into the building" so he told us to say a prayer (Don Bosco Prep HS) so we did that and went back to what we were doing. We were then informed of the second plane and knew our country was under attack. So the whole school met up at the stadium and we all got sent home. I remember going with my dad to this cliff in Hawthorne that is the highest point to NYC and at this point the buildings were already collapsed but we could see the debris and smoke pouring up into the sky as clear as day. I'll never forget it.
