On September 11, 2001, I was in the second week of the new school year with my senior English class at T. C. Williams High School just a few miles south of the Pentagon.
Suddenly that morning, a colleague who grew up in New York, opened the classroom door and said, "Turn on the TV the World Trade center has just been hit by a plane. " I've always believed in never letting school get in the way of my students' education. I switched on the TV in front of the room, and my students and I listened to the announcers make a guess about what had happened——only to see the second plane hit. At first, the sight of the towers burning didn't seem to have much more immediacy (紧迫性)than a TV action movie. Soon, however, things in that classroom would get far too immediate.
In what seemed like about a half-hour after the second plane hit, we heard a loud explosion outside the school. Several students were shocked and I told them not to worry, saying that "it was just a car backfiring". A moment later a boy sitting near the windows said, "That's no car； look at that black smoke." We could see an enormous plume of smoke rising in the distance, but didn't know where it was coming from until, a few seconds later, the NBC reporter stationed at the Pentagon broke into the New York coverage to say that he felt the ground shake beneath him as he heard an explosion—obviously the same one that had just surprised my students. It was several minutes before it was announced that the explosion came from a plane hitting the Pentagon.
At that point, a boy a football player suddenly came undone and had to be comforted by the girls in the class. His mom worked in the Pentagon, and when he tried to get her on his cellphone he could not get through.
Reports vastly overestimated the number of deaths in the Pentagon. Some reports were estimating over 800 dead when the actual death toll at the Pentagon was 125.
2001年9月11日，新学年的第二周，我在五角大楼以南几英里的t.c.威廉姆斯高中上高三英语课。
那天早上，一个在纽约长大的同事突然打开教室的门说:“打开电视，世贸中心刚刚被一架飞机撞了。”我一直坚信，永远不要让学校妨碍学生的教育。我打开房间前面的电视，我和我的学生们听着播音员猜测发生了什么——结果却看到第二架飞机撞上了。起初，双子塔燃烧的景象似乎并不比电视动作电影更直接(紧迫性)。然而，很快，教室里的事情就变得过于直接了。
在第二架飞机坠毁大约半小时后，我们听到了学校外面巨大的爆炸声。几个学生都很震惊，我告诉他们不要担心，说“这只是一辆汽车回火”。过了一会儿，一个坐在窗边的男孩说:“那不是汽车，看那黑烟。”我们可以看到远处升起了一股巨大的烟雾，但不知道是从哪里来的，直到几秒钟后，NBC驻五角大楼的记者闯入纽约的报道，说他听到爆炸声，感到脚下的地面在震动——显然就是刚才让我的学生们吃惊的那一次。几分钟后才宣布爆炸来自一架撞向五角大楼的飞机。
就在那时，一个男孩，一个足球运动员突然崩溃了，班上的女孩们不得不安慰他。他的母亲在五角大楼工作，当他试图用手机联系她时，却打不通。
报告大大高估了五角大楼的死亡人数。一些报道估计死亡人数超过800人，而五角大楼的实际死亡人数为125人。
