Eleven years ago, the bell rang at 10:05 to let me out of Algebra 2. There to greet me was a friend of mine. He told me terrorists had hijacked a bunch of planes, and had already rammed two into the World Trade Center. I told him, "Somebody is messing with you. No one is dumb enough to attack the United States of America." I walked into US History next, as saw one smoking tower on TV (the other had fallen). When the bell rang to start History Class, Mr. Eckart got up in front of the class and said "This is History." We spent the rest of class in silence listening to Peter Jennings.
Never forget.
