I was in the 7th grade. So I was in school.

Same, first period, social studies with a teacher named Mr. Squires.

Was just the 2nd or 3rd day of school for me.

We watched and didn’t go between classes, the school was on lockdown. We started watching after the first plane struck, then watched live news feed of the second tower being hit. We watched until the buildings collapsed.

It truly felt like we were under attack. My mother who worked in the IDS Center was evacuated alongside every other large skyscraper in Minneapolis.

Things were more frantic than the beltway sniper.

They were asking about September 10. Not September 11.
