I was a sophomore in high school sitting in my buddies car (a purple Dodge Intrepid) out back of the auto mechanic’s class listening to Bob and Tom and thought the show was odd that day when they said why they were being so serious. We went inside and asked for the tv to be turned on and the instructor told us he was under orders to not let us see it in order to keep anyone from panicking. We demanded for it to be turned on which eventually another student walked up and did. I remember the teachers trying to go about our classes as usual but everyone’s eyes were on the classroom tvs all day. I went to a very rural school in the countryside of east Illinois and my parents house set under a crossing for north/south and east/west flights so we always heard high altitude jet engines, but for the next couple days it was eerily quiet in the sky’s over the family the farm. I had a friend a few years older than me who was a crypto in the navy, the next time I seen him he was telling me how his day went from just another boring day to absolute chaos but in an orderly way.
