[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a Sophomore at GW. One of my roommates for a call from her father just after the first attack and we turned on the tv to watch. I remember the pure shock of seeing the second attack and the panic for friends/family in NYC. I also stupidly remember wondering if I still had to go to my 9:30 class. I starting walking to class, but at some point on the way heard it was cancelled.

One of the biggest things I remember about 9/11 was about  week later. I went back home for Rosh Hashana services and remember hearing 2 older ladies talking in synagogue about the attacks and one said NYC would rebound and that Trump would build a bigger, better building with spikes to impale planes. Never would have guessed what would have happened 15 years after that comment.

I was a GW freshman! My dad was supposed to be on the plane that hit the pentagon, Flight 77 flying to LA where I was from, but the day before he’d had a meeting on the hill scheduled for Tuesday morning so he changed his flight. He was then unable to fly home until about 10 days later. I had a very hard time adjusting to school and almost dropped out after going home for winter break.

I did go to my next class but learned it was canceled on the way and had just gotten back to my dorm and felt the impact of the plane hitting the pentagon a moment later. [/quote]
