I was in my AP English class, doing a speed essay on "Murder in the Cathedral". I was almost finished when our teacher walked in, told us the news, and then told us to finish the essays. I learned the towers collapsed in my Driver's Ed class. My friend and I walked in for our practicals, and the instructor pointed to a picture of the NY skyline and said, "See that? They're not there anymore."
What's really scary is what happened to a good friend of mine. Her father works for a military insurance group, and he has Pentagon clearance. In fact, he was going to go there that day, but realized that there was way too much work at his desk that had to be done. Got lucky.
