Yeah, it's pretty rough.
I was actually on the school bus when I heard the news of the attack. The local morning crew on the radio is pretty frickin' lame, so at first I thought it was a joke in bad taste. I seriously wouldn't put that past them. I figured it was a sort of a "War of the Worlds" type thing.
Since it went on for more than 20 minutes (the radio guys have very short attention spans) I started to fear the worst. I went to the school library, sat with some friends, and watched the televisions placed in there.
We didn't get much schoolwork done that day. We spent most of the day watching the news.
