in high school... heard the news first during IT class on yahoo main page, thought it was another boring summer blockbuster... so i ignored it... than i heard the real deal during English class, the teacher announced that this is history in the making as it was an unexpected attack, so he suggested we should all listen to the radio for the rest of the period. Next is the History class, where we discussed the possibilities of 9-11 might have effect on us. After school i spent the entire evening watching American news, NBC, CNN, FOX, ABC...just to get the updates...
I still remembered the English teacher told us that it was the third most shocking news he had received from the news media... the first was the attack at Pearl Harbour in 1941, the second was the assassination of JFK and now the 911. and each of these are of paramount moments in history that left an impact in all of us. No wonder he canceled his lecture and decided to let us listen to the radio... no one spoke, everyone listened. i had goosebumps for the rest of the day.
