I had 8 o'clock class that day, and I sat down in a cafe in one of the campus buildings to read the Daily Nebraskan. I had no clue until I came back to Beta. When I came in the door, there were a bunch of guys in our living room watching the TV, which I remember thinking was very odd for 945 in the morning. I didn't stop and continued up to my room, where my roommate had our TV on, and I saw a replay of the first column collapse...shortly thereafter I guess the 2nd tower collapsed, or I saw a replay of that. I just remember being blown away....thinking it was something out of a movie or something like that.
After that, class was out of the question, and I watched CNN for the rest of the day. A lot of guys decided to go get gas, since there were stories that gas stations in Kansas City had raised prices to over $4 a gallon. Luckily nothing like that happened (and the KS secretary of State prosecuted the stations that jacked up prices.)
But obviously everything was like a dream state...
