I remember being upset that all of the other classes got to watch it. We heard from friends in other classes that an attack had happened and they were all watching TV now. My teacher refused to put it on, and kept teaching as usual until parents started showing up to pull their kids out of school early.
Thinking back, it’s probably good that we didn’t watch it; We were only 8 years old, after all. All my friends in the other classes watched the second plane hit and saw towers fall live, while I only got the recap.
