Class 9/11, Discussion

In today's class we discussed the events of September 11th, 2001 and reviewed all our notes for the test. Mr. Schick described to us his day when the events of September 11 took place. He described a beautiful, almost perfect early fall day, not a cloud in the sky. He said how he was in the hallway on his way to mass when Mrs. Fisher (an English at the time) approached him asking if he heard about what happened in New York. She told him that a plane had crashed into one of the Twin Towers. Mr. Schick figured that it was just a small plane that somehow got terribly off track. It wasn't the principal  at the time told the school at the end of mass that another jet had struck the second Twin Tower. He said that the United States was most likely under attack. Mr. Schick said the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. He said he went back to his classroom and watched the footage of what was going on in New York on the TV in his classroom. Then parents started pulling their kids out of school left and right. John Carroll was dismissed early that day. Mr. Schick said the country was almost eerie as everything had come to such an abrupt stop.
