I was in grade school still but my dad had a business flight to Houston that morning. While he was at the airport he saw all of the flight schedules turn to "CANCELLED". He called the house and asked me to turn the TV on CNN. I didn't fully understand what the twin towers were, but I told him the twin towers have been bombed (initial report) and he was floored.

All day was spent in school watching it on TV. After lunch the school had an all student assembly in the gym where we watched the news unfold. This assembly was different though, no jokes or snorts were heard, just electric silence for hours.
