My dad woke me up extra early for school (we lived in Hawaii at the time, 6 hour time difference from the East Coast) and turned on CNN. He said no words. I will never forget opening my eyes that morning to the second tower being hit.
I went to school and most people had no idea what had happened. I mentioned it to my first period teacher and he thought I was full of shit. Then we turned the TV on and the word spread like wildfire around campus.
I believe they sent us home early that day.
