[THECHICKEN]

Anyone watching the rebroadcast of the 9/11 coverage on msnbc?

I never got to see any coverage of it because of school on the day it happened. Kind of chilling. Just the chaos is insane. The report of a car bomb at the state department kind of surprised me.

And yet osama gets to still live and release his stupid videos.

Feelings, memories, where you were... feel free to share.

I was watching the Today Show getting ready to leave for school when literally right when I walked out the door the announced that an aircraft hit the WTC. I just thought it was some sort of crazy problem with the guidance system and I left for school (I was a sophomore in high school). By the time I got to my class all the TVs were on in the school and it was after the second tower was hit and everyone was like "oh shit." So we watched TV the entire day. It was surreal seeing the breaking news that "the pentagon's been hit" or "another aircraft down in Pennsylvania" or "all aircraft has been grounded."

So we pretty much watched the news all day. The thing I remembered most distinctly was when I went to Physics class that day or teacher said "Some things are way more important than learning physics. This happens to be one of them," and we all just sat there and watched.

So the people at Tech: did they cancel classes for the day or just let them run and no one showed up?
