[QUOTE="Steve@TF, post: 14409824, member: 40308"] being on the west coast it was pretty early for us. i was getting ready to head out to work as i had just started teaching maybe a week before. my wife was in the babys room getting her dressed and watching the news and told me a plane hit the wtc. i walked in and saw the smoking building and thought it was just a very unfortunate plane accident and rushed out the door. i didnt hear about it being suspected terrorism till a little while after i got to work. maybe on the way on the radio, dont recall. i remember the school administration asking us not to discuss it with the kids (middle school). we really didnt get the full gravity of the events till later in the day since we were in the classroom and somewhat disconnected with the outside world. had i actually known what was going on while i was still at home i probably would have been very late to work that day. i would have been glued to the news.. and back then we didnt have internet in the classroom yet. it came later in the year coincidentally. also didnt have texting on cell phones let alone any kind of internet. and then it took a few days for the news to really sink in. then i thought, we're going to war.. not hear. once i heard that it was suspected terrorism i expected gas prices to skyrocket so i ran to the gas station at lunch (noon PST) to fill my car up. i didnt know we were supposed to check out if we left :bash: and got a little "reprimand" for it. days later the gas prices were still the same and i remember :bash: myself for running out to get gas. i do remember gas being super cheap back then. it may have been that Christmas or the year before that gas even dropped to below $1 a gallon for the first time in years... for about two weeks. i had a honda at the time. now i have two blown V8s and get piss poor mpg and gas is consistently over $4 a gallon here :bored: [/QUOTE]
