I was driving my son, who was in 8th grade, to school. I turned the car radio on expecting to hear rock music. Instead there was an official-sounding man talking about a "second plane" having crashed in Manhattan. I said, "Oh, my God...(my niece and her boyfriend) are in Manhattan!" My niece was there with her bf, a musician who was scheduled to be on TV that night.
When I dropped my son off I went home and called my older sister. She was frantic because she couldn't reach her daughter (my niece). It wasn't until late that night when my sister was able to locate her, and find out that she was safe - but definitely not okay, as she had seen the whole mess in Manhattan from her hotel.
I had family in NYC and in Brooklyn; everyone was safe but extremely upset, of course.
My son said he and his class watched the news on TV all day in school.
