I was in college and my first class - which we still had all our classes that day - was a public relations class. The professor comes in and states what happened with the first plan and I start to respond as if it was a public relations challenge of how we would handle it. She was quick to clarify it was real and we put on a TV, and saw the coverage of the second plane. I really can't believe we still had classes, even if we were in Iowa; we all watched news in between everything. I do have an uncle in NYC, though I was fairly confident he wasn't near the towers with his job etc, which he was indeed safe. But so many other people affected, and continued to be affected as the threat has continued.
