Q What was the first thing that went through your head when you heard that
a plane crashed into the first building ?
THE PRESIDENT : Yes. Well, I was sitting in a schoolhouse in Florida. I had
gone down to tell my little brother what to do, and — just kidding, Jeb. (Laughter.)
And — it’s the mother in me. (Laughter.) Anyway, I was in the midst of learning

There was a TV set on. And you know, I thought it was pilot error and I was
amazed that anybody could make such a terrible mistake. And something was wrong
with the plane, or — anyway, I’m sitting there, listening to the briefing,
and Andy Card came and said, « America is under attack. »
