I was teaching a class on the 8th floor of the library at Hofstra, with my back to the Manhattan skyline, when my students all turned to see the first tower and smoke. We thought for a minute it was FDNY conducting a drill but soon learned from security what it was and were told to evacuate asap. All classes were soon canceled. Not something we will ever forget.
