I was asleep, being on the west coast. That was back when I'd go to sleep with my radio on and wake up to it in the morning. The morning show at that time would always do these weird/wacky news stories so when I was half awake I thought that was what it was until I went downstairs.

I remember I was in 10th grade and only one of my classes let us watch the news coverage. That Friday our first newspaper issue of the year was coming out so Monday and Tuesday were deadline days, the first I ever got to be apart of, we had the tv on all period and after school while we were completely changing everything that had been done Monday to cover what had happened, all of our feature stuff had to be pushed back to the second issue. I still have that paper somewhere.
