I was a senior in high school, and was at my National Honors Society practice - we were being inducted the next night. The rest of the school had a late start. After practice, I went to my band locker and everyone in there was talking about things exploding - I told my friend who was with me 'what a weird way to start the day's conversation.' Then we were filled in.

Our HS classrooms didn't have TVs, so we just went on with the normal day. Only in the cafeteria could we get fuzzy CNN.
