The motion of the airplane hitting the tower and the explosion burned into everyones memory, that is the first time the president saw it. Right after that moment when dan bartlett alerted everyone in the room, he said look at the tv and we saw it. Everyone was stunned in silence because we had never seen it. We heard what had happened.
