“Andy Card comes up behind me and says, ‘Second plane has hit the second tower. America’s under attack’…and I’m watching a child read,” Bush recalled in the BBC documentary 9/11: Inside the President’s War Room.
“I could see the horror etched on the face of the news people who had just gotten the same news.”
