I was attending, well still am at this point, Southern Utah University in Cedar City, Utah. I was going about the same routine of getting ready to go to class. I was eating breakfast while watching The Today Show on NBC and I saw what had happened. I was shocked. The information available was still sketchy, so no one really knew what was going on. I watched the news unfold:someone had flown a plane into the World Trade Center Towers. How could this happen? After I finished eating breakfast I returned to my room to finish getting dressed for the day. When I returned to the t.v. to see if anything else happened, the other trade center had been hit. In the course of about 10 minutes another building had been hit. The last thing that I wanted to do at this time was go to school, and I dont think that I did. I wanted to watch the news to see what was really going on. Being a history majoy, it occured to me that someday I might be teaching this exact incident to students 20 years from now. The attack dominated the news for weeks. And still there are concerns of what is really going to happen.
