I remembered a late start to the school day (NY is 2 hours ahead of me), and remember seing on the news that the World Trade Center and the Pentagon had been badly damaged, but nothing more until I was filled in throughout the day.

The scary thing is, my city put itself on alert, as I found out later in later years, because we hold the second-largest army installation in the nation...Fort Bliss...and that any city with a military base was considered a high-profile target potential by the US Government...especially if it was particularly large like ours...
