RE: Where were you when...a perspective from inside an American classroom as the tragic events of September 11, 2001 unfolded Part Two.(featuring @hanshotfirst as author)

I was in jail getting read to go to prison for 10 years.
I was awakened by a fellow inmate who told me about what was going on. I thought it was a tv show at first. Then the second plane crashed into the building, and I was like...um, this doesnt look like a tv show. And sure enough, two days later I got taken to the Idaho State Correctional Facility and the guards there were just on edge.
The inmates there told us they had drills going on all day and would last for two weeks...
I found myself looking at airplanes flying overhead for weeks after that.
