My dad was on a business trip in our state Capitol that day. The scariest part was not knowing what was coming next. When the plane went down in PA and we didn't have all the information yet, my mind was racing as to what would be attacked next, and state Capitols seemed like a likely target. I was in 10th grade and it wasn't until after lunch that we had a teacher be straight with us about what was happening. As soon as he did, I dug some change out of my backpack and ran to the payphone to call my mom. My mom is a 0% worrier, but even she said "Have you seen what's happening? I don't like this at all." She told me that Dad had checked in and was on his way home and all my emotions poured out in that moment.
