Here's a transcript from a townhall meeting Bush held in Florida on December 4, 2001
CNN Transcript

Here's a quote from it that I don't understand.

QUESTION: One thing, Mr. President, is that you have no idea how much you've done for this country, and another thing is that how did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack?

BUSH: Well...

(APPLAUSE)

Thank you, Jordan (ph).

Well, Jordan (ph), you're not going to believe what state I was in when I heard about the terrorist attack. I was in Florida. And my chief of staff, Andy Card -- actually I was in a classroom talking about a reading program that works. And I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower -- the TV was obviously on, and I use to fly myself, and I said, "There's one terrible pilot." And I said, "It must have been a horrible accident."

How could he have seen the first plane hit? The video of the first plane hitting the Twin Towers didn't surface until well after the second plane hit. I watched it live, all day.

Ummm, I was watching Good Morning America (which because I'm in the midwest was taped) when they broke into the broadcast and showed the tape of the first plane hitting the World Trade Center. While Diane Sawyer and Charles Gibson were discussing what happened the 2nd plane hit the 2nd tower. Both tapes were then played over and over for hours on TV on 9/11.

Perhaps he meant the first plane they showed hitting?

According to Mr Moores(tupid) film. Bush was at the school when the second plane hit. I don't know if he was in the classroom or not when it struck.
