I was a junior in college in Missouri.

As we heard the news on the car radio during lunch break, my buddies and I
were crossing over railroad tracks that ran through the center of the small
college town.  The view is still clear in my memory of that one short
stretch of road.

I also recall sitting stunned during the first class that followed,
wondering why others didn't seem to be so affected.  Of course it was
probably just my own perception, but I was sure I couldn't have stood and
lectured, my mind was so numb.  I even remember where I was sitting -- near
the front, left side of the room, by the windows -- but have no idea what
class it was.

Everything seemed to collapse into a very egocentric view for that brief
moment in time.  As if the mind were trying to shut out the bad news, but
too late.
