Of all the great memories I took with me from college, sadly the one that had a greater impact on myself was when the 9-11 terrorist attacks happened.
It was my first semester of my freshman year at the university of puerto rico-mayaguez campus and that happened like two weeks into the semester. I was at my marching band rehearsal and suddenly at 9:15 am approximately the music department's secretary comes crashing in to the band practice room saying "Im sorry to interrupt director but you may want to turn the tv on." The tv was turned on and there it was. A scenes many around the world will never forget. THe two buildings were alreday hit and we saw them implode on live tv. It was a horrible feeling.
After rehearsal at around 12 pm, I walked over to a shopping center to have lunch on the top story food court. When i reached the last floor everybody at the food court was stuck watching the tv. Nobody was in line for almost every shop and practically nobody was eating at 12pm!!(lunch hour here for most people). I also heard from friends that the student center and library had everyone watching the tv. Most classes were canceled
Its a day ill never forget
