I was in college in Beaumont, Texas, walking back to school from lunch at a hamburger joint with two friends. I noted the sky had some ominous dark clouds with the sunlight playing on them like the twilight of the gods, and my friend said the German term for it, Gotterdamerung, from Wagner. As we approached the first college building we saw a group gathered around a car: the guy in the car had his radio on and that's where we first heard the news. After that we walked over to the student union where crowds of students were watching it all unfold on TV. All over the country movie theatres shut down for some days and it was all very somber for some time.
