I was at school at my desk about 6' from the window north of the south Learning center entrance door, and mom came and told me. (she teaches there) During chapel, 2 people from our church that were teaching school in NYC called and told us. That was all we talked about that day in the Library. The guys that answered the phone said it was spooky........they heard tons of sirens going by in the background. I later e-mailed a woman that I had sort of learned to know from DU chat that lived in NYC, and I asked her if she was alright up there in the big city. Little did I know.........She was working in tower #2 when the first plane hit tower #1![][] She beat feet outta there and came out without a scratch, but was pretty shaken up about it. My nieghbor and a few of his friends toured the WTC a week before the planes hit.
