All I remember is being really confused about what was going on, then my friends and I making paper airplanes to throw at people. Why did anyone think a bunch of west coast elementary school kids would give a poo poo about a plane hitting a building they'd never heard of?

You have to remember, these were different times, people could still tell other people to get banned, and also it wasn't against the rules to request that they kill themselves like I wish I could do now but this is a post 9/11 world

i remember my high school had an assembly about it with the principal before they sent us home for the day

the principal had been tracking it on TV while we sat through our first class or whatever and then he called an assembly, and opened up for questions at the end

the first question anyone asked was "did anyone die?"

the principal just said "yes" and sent everyone home, no further questions.

Did he put on a pair of sunglasses and walk out of the assembly?

You can get custom printed box-cutters at these sites https://www.printglobe.com/box-cutters-utility-knives and https://www.identity-links.com/tools-amp-flashlights/box-cutters maybe one of them could hook you up?

The school didn't tell us what was happening, so when I got home after being picked up and saw a building collapsing, I laughed. I thought it was a cool demolition thing.

I got grounded for that :(
