12th grade, some discretionary reading class, not sure what they called it. one of those easy a classes where you just read a few books then write one or two reports for the semester.
I remember everyone freaking out later in the afternoon, some jets flew over the area (dayton, ohio) and generated a sonic boom. We were in the house watching the news, and the whole house and ground shook. Ran outside, and a few seconds later, ground shook again. Freaked everyone out.
Local news lost all credibility that day. They reported a small brush fire as a fourth hijacked airplane crashed, and even went so far as to reporting that the VA hospital had just gotten hit by a plane too. Was ridiculous how irresponsible and disrespectful the local news was that day, at the very least, they could have made a few phone calls to fact check before reporting things like that.
