I woke up shortly after the first plane hit the north tower. I checked my (then) AOL account and saw the headline as "Plane accidently collides with World Trade Center tower." I turned on the news and watched as the second plane hit the south tower.

I woke up one of my roommates and we watched the news as it was developing. I didn't have class until 11:30, but my other roommate already came back after PSU cancelled the remaining classes. We thought the end of the world was coming.
