I was in 5th grade. I remember our teacher turned the tv on and we watched it for a few minutes but I think for the most part we didn't understand what was happening. Then all the TV's in the school had to be turned off. When I went home my Mom and sister were there and my Mom was crying. I was able to understand what was happening once I was able to watch some coverage.

Something I really remember though is that my aunt was getting ready to get married, so we had like a rehearsal dinner that night or something, and on the way there we passed a bunch of gas stations and each had a line like 2 miles long of people waiting to get gas. Crazy.
