I was in English class and that teacher also taught an elective on Film History, so she had a big screen TV in the room (big, for the time and for being in a classroom…It was probably a 40” tube). A couple of the adjacent rooms came in and we watched the second tower get hit with Katie, Matt, Al, and Ann.
I was at an Evangelical Bible college, my first month away from home. People genuinely thought it was the end times and Jesus was coming back that day.
If it’s any consolation, I was a Junior in HS.

I was spending 11 days in jail when it happened. My entire life felt like it was upsidedown.
I am so curious: did they tell you? Did your routine change? Did everyone care?
It was all a lot of us watched in the commons room I was in. Others kept playing Kaiser, and daily routine was uninterrupted otherwise.
I was a freshman in high school at the time and ironically was in my third period social studies/American history class.
