Reply #1: I was in my classroom with my kids and...

our school resource officer (Dana) came in and said "A plane just hit one of the WT building in NYC." (My room was one that had already had cable installed) I said "Oh, what a horrible accident." She said "yea"
A bit later she came in and said "This is no accident, another plane has hit the other tower."
From then the shock and fear just unfolded around me.... I had to go through the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel on the way home... Were they done for the day? Was the tunnel next?
But I had to not think about my own fears.... My kids were upset.... many live on Langley AFB... they had reasonable concerns about family and one 9th grader even cried because her dog was out in the yard.
I cried all the way home and sat in front of my TV all night stunned
