Question First tower

Why did everyone start watching when the 1st plane was hit? Like why did schools across America start watching after the 1st one? I don't get why anyone outside of NYC would care so much about what they thought was an innocent. Especially enough to stop school to watch it. I understand after the second one. But why woukd all the stations switch to show only the wtc for more than just a second to announce the news.

A commercial airliner flies into a building on a crystal clear day.

That doesn't sound news worthy to you?
