My wife was a kindergarten teacher. We’d been married 12 years, and she said things that I had never heard come out of her mouth before.
Because she was not president at the time, we managed to escape World War III.
It happened during my travelling days, I was on a train to Edingburgh in scotland and had no idea it had happened until I saw a newspaper board saying "1000s dead in US terror Attack"there were no papers left to buy and I had accommodation booked at the university as it was the holidays and you could stay in the students rooms for cheap but there were no TVs so i still had no idea what happened. Eventually I went to a pub and they had a small TV showing the news and I was shocked when i saw what had happened and even more shocked when i realised the towers had actually fallen down. I left the pub with at least the basic knowledge of what had happened but not much more than that. I remember laying in bed that night knowing something huge had just happened but with no way of following the news as no TV, smartphones didnt exist then and no newspaper until the next day. It was pretty spooky laying there thinking WW3 could break out overnight and I wouldnt even know if it did.
