I remember waking up in my house to my mom's TV, it was REALLY loud, and my mom was on the phone w/ my aunt (who lives in Tucson). i remember just plopping down on the bed and watching The Today Show (i believe) showing footage of the first plane crashing into the WTC. I remember thinking that it was fake. That it couldn't be really happening here. Then I remember watching the second plane crash in (we are 2 hours behind NYC, so i believe it was all recapping) the second tower and just feeling numb.
I was in 11th grade, and I remember just listening to all the crazy rumors, believing them. Like the Washington monument had been lit on fire and had crumbled. The Lincoln memorial had been blown up, etc. Then in my psychology class, through a grainy TV we watch the WTC crumble. It was crazy.
