I'd also just started secondary school, think I went in for the Friday/Thursday the week before as like a sort-of induction, so it wasn't completely new.

I remember it was hometime and I was walking through the corridor of classrooms and seeing students and teachers all huddled around the televisions... I didn't stop to wonder why, really, just wanted to go home. Then found out what had happened on the radio on the drive home, and I think as I got in the first tower was just about to fall. I don't remember feeling as engrossed in what was happening as we all do now whenever something's a breaking story and it's so easily accessible on our phones etc., I think I only watched an hour or so at most... but in hindsight I think it'll never be surpassed as the most chilling "visual" experience of my lifetime. I hope not, anyway.
