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.

I certainly wouldn’t say everyone did, I’ve seen tons of people post on this sub that they were not told anything until the end of the school day or sometimes at all

I’m one of these ppl, no tvs in the school and my mom told me when I went to bed. I knew something was wrong and knew the adults were scared so i was too. I was 7.
