I was on my way to work and heard it on the radio...I thought it was one of the morning show pranks...it wasn't believable to me until I got into the level 5 EBD school full of thuggy kids who were all silent and glued to the TV that it was real to me. That night, my friend and I had tickets to see Riverdance and the performers had 5 mins of silence for those lost. It was so powerful to be sitting in a huge theater of complete silence.
We were talking about it in school today and the kids I am teaching today will never know a world where they could go to the airport and see someone onto the plane
