Columbine-sitting in my HS chemistry class, someone tore into the room and turned on the TV and was like, "LOOK AT THAT!" I lived in Colorado at the time, although I didn't live very close to Columbine, but it his pretty close to home.
9/11-I was coming back from a PoliSci lecture and ran into someone on the stairs and I said, "Hey! how are you doing?" They mumbled something and dismissed me and I was just confused. I walk back up to my hall and everyone's crowded around the TV. I remember us all just staring at each other and thinking it was a bad joke or something.
