I was in college, on my way to meet my sister for breakfast in the big restaurant/student lounge on campus. Everyone was sitting in silence, crammed around the TV's in the lounge. It was so shocking. The rest of my classes that day canceled regular studies and we all went to class anyway to watch TV's and talk to our professors about what was going on. My Stats professor was from NYC and he was in shock.
The next night we had a candlelight vigil for the victims, and my best friend called me to tell me her fiance had been in a horrible combine accident and lost both of his legs and barely survived. It was a bad week.
