i remember my mother waking me telling me something terrible had happened, i thought maybe one of our pets had died, she showed me to the TV and i saw the image of the planes flying into the towers over and over again. i had to shower and prepare for school but couldnt turn myself away from the TV. i went to school and everyone was talking about it, one person held a cardboard sign saying "the world is ending". all my teachers spent half the lesson talking about it, and when i came home it was plastered on every TV station 24 hrs a day and remained that way for 3 continuous days.
