We were sitting in math going over things we learned last year. Our principal came in and said that something horrible has happened. We brought the TV into the classroom and about one minute after we turned it on the second plane hit. My teacher started to cry because his brother was on a plane that morning. A half hour later we heard that his brother was in the plane that hit the second tower. The whole class started to cry because our teacher saw his brother fly into the tower. We held a memorial service in the schoolyard a week after on September 18. At the exact time the plane hit my teachers other brothers who are in the armed service played taps. It was very touching.
