[quote=Anonymous]Seventh grade in a Long Island suburb of New York. They didn’t tell us anything, but I noticed parents signing their kids out of school by first period, which I thought was odd given it was the first week of school- mass sign outs only happened the day before vacations. My mom came to pick us up a few hours later. We watched the smoke in the distance from a bridge near our beach town. My dad is a retired lawyer who worked in battery park at the time. He saw the first plane hit from his office and watched it burn. Only missed the second plane because he was trying to make it up to the roof for a better view. His building filled with dust when the towers collapsed. He walked across the Brooklyn bridge to get a subway - the a- train as close to Long Island as possible. My grandfather was a college professor downtown and it took us a few hours to track him down but he also walked across the bridge and made it home. We were lucky. It was a horrifying time.[/quote]
