Murry Bergtraum High School-front door

Education

We were evacuated pretty soon after the 2nd plane hit, about 10 minutes later. We all heard both planes hit the towers, though at first, none of us knew exactly what had happened. Many of our students saw one or both planes hit the buildings, and some of them were very upset, they were crying, they didn't know how to get home at all.

At the front door was a police officer screaming at us to get out of the building and to get away from the Towers. I stopped to comfort a student and was nearly shoved along.
