I was a senior in high school on 9/11/01. I remember one of my buddies running into the room yelling about how he had to take a make up test watching news clips of planes crashing into the WTC, and we all pretty much laughed him off for a few seconds, until we realized how serious things were. Well the mood in the Debate Team room was no longer focused on the party of whatever we were celebrating about. The TV’s power button was broken, so one of the two Brazilians on the team stuck a a pencil into the socket where the power button was in order to turn on the TV. I couldn’t help from laughing as I imagined him being electrocuted and zapped halfway across the room. Not in a serious-hes-dead sort of way, but in a Daffy-Duck-Explosion-In-His-face-so-his-eyebrows-burn-off sort of way. Once we got the TV on, we just crowded around the TV in shock. In my next class I remember my English teacher saying “anything we were going to in class today is no longer important” and we sat and watched TV.
