On 9/11/2001, I was getting ready to go to school and watching the events being broadcasted on live TV. Like many, I watched the second plane hit the South Tower. Given my age at the time {I was 11 years old}, I didn't understand what happened in NYC even after I arrived at school. The principal said over the intercom, "Students, there has been an attack in New York City. Please understand there is no immediate threat to Portland." Like many of my peers, I knew something big had happened in NYC, but it didn't sink in for me until school was dismissed for the day.
