The bar looked out over the entire dining room, and I had the TV on behind the bar. Everybody walked in and sat down at a table facing the TV. They ate their lunch quietly while watching the news coverage. Once they were done eating they'd pay me at the bar. Almost every person that came in that day commented to me about how awful/tragic it was. Very somber, incredibly sad.
