[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 230369, member: 1485"] Junior year of high school. English class. My teacher stepped out of the room for a bit, then came back. I'll never forget the look on his face. He wasn't a very happy person to begin with, but his features were absolutely ashen. "Class, something has happened and we need to turn on the news." He turned on CNN and I saw the first tower smoking. I can't remember if it was in his class or the next, but we watched the second hit. It was a strange day. The bell would ring between class, and there was a hush. Quiet murmuring. More like a church than a high school. Very eerie. We'd get to the next class, sit down, and the TV would be on. And we'd watch. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] And the people. Falling out of buildings. On live news. At first we had no idea what was going on. It looked like piece of glass or rubble. But then it was unmistakable. These were people hurling themselves out of a burning high-rise tower because they'd rather fall to their death than burn.
