On 9-11-02 when i found out about the wtc i was in 9th grade earth science. My teacher had walked into the lab room for a few minuites and when he had come back into the room he quieted everyone down. He said that a plane had just crashed into the world trade center, but no one beleived him. The day before he had someone walk into the class room and stage a fight to prove a point. I remember making him go on the N.B.C. website to see if it was true, but nothing was posted yet. After class everyone was walkin around the halls confused. The teachers had told us that we werent aloud to know because the school was afraid to tell the 9th grades in fear that we would freak out. I wasn't sure if it had actually happened until 8th period english with Mr.Shelly. during the day a few people had been taken out of school because they had relatives in the world trade center.
