It's the 25th anniversary of 9/11. I went down to the break room where I was working because someone told us a plane had hit the world trade center. Watching the smoke rolling off the first building I thought "what idiot flies a plane into a sky scraper?" And right after that the second plane hit. We saw it live when it happened. I never really understood the term "my blood ran cold". Twenty five years later and I still remember that feeling like it was branded into my brain. There have been many atrocities in history and now, this is just the one I witnessed.

I was in high school. It must have been religion class because I remember the religion teacher wheeling in a TV and putting it on. I am sure the adults wanted to see what was going on but I now question the wisdom of putting that on for a bunch of teenagers. We aren't even in the US!

I wonder how they found out. Was someone in the lounge listening to the radio? It's not like we had smartphones to notify us.
