when i first heard of the attacks i didn't even know what everybody was talking about, everybody said "watch the TV! watch the TV! but the princaple had sent out the rule that all tv's were to be turned off. All day i heard exaggerated stories of "fleets of airplanes" to "An armed invasion" and it was not until one of my teachers had the sense to turn on the radio tht i learned what was really happenning. i was appalled that something like that could happen, and sick to my stomach in fear for for NeW York Relatives. As i went through the rest of the day, sometimes a radio was on, often it was off, and people wondored what was yet to come.
