4th period bio teacher put it on the TV and then tried to give us lab work to do, hilariously. It didn't get done

How early was your fourth period? I know I was in world history class, which was early in the day and we stopped everything. And we stayed there basically all day because the school locked down so that it was easier to pull kids out of class whose parents worked at the pentagon

Timeline as I remember it: between 2nd and 3rd periods (say, 8:50 CST) I heard the news from a kid nobody believed because he lied all the time. It was probably confirmed during 3rd period but it wasn't until 4th (about 10am) that the TV came out. So the main action was over

We tuned in while the towers were still up and on fire. In my mind I recall that we saw the second plane hit live, but I am not sure that is right; memory is fickle. I do know a classmate expressed confidence the towers would stay up because they had resisted the '93 bombing.

I, by contrast, had never heard of the World Trade Center before that day

Looking back on it, the information environment at my high school was odd. The level of news and current event awareness was really high, presumably because lots of our classmates were the kids of government officials.

I would say I had relatively low news awareness, also it was Chicago, I had never known anyone powerful in my entire life (still haven't), and I was five when the World Trade Center was bombed the first time, so, cumulatively...

To be fair, I don't know that I've known anyone powerful in my life, though I suppose I have known people who knew people who were powerful, which is still probably a different experience.
