[quote=Anonymous]I had just started 6th grade in the NYC suburbs. My school did not tell us anything nor let us out early. However, I knew something was wrong because parents were picking up their kids and I saw a few teachers crying. My dad met me at the bus stop that afternoon and told me about the WTC and Pentagon. Being the innocent 11-year-old that I was, I initially thought it had been a horrible accident. I could not believe it when my parents told me it was deliberate. It was beyond my comprehension that the U.S. could be attacked. My mom erroneously told me that Flight 93 had been shot down as we did not know the full story yet. I remember watching President Bush address the nation that night and everyone talking about it at school the next day. I know a few people who lost family (including a very good friend that I met in college) as well as several people who were supposed to be in the WTC that day but thankfully were running late or missed their trains.
