Baloney. He continued reading. What was he supposed to do,

Seriously, what is it that you think a President could have
done? No one knew whether it was a terrorist attack or just
another airline accident.

Two off-course airliners crashed into the World Trade Towers
within minutes of one another in clear weather, and no one
knew if it was "just another airline accident"? That's quite
a spin, CJ!

Bush left immediately after being informed of the second crash. Of course
you probably knew that, so let's here your spin on that!

Not quite. He was informed of the first aircraft hitting the WTC before
he entered the classroom. It was the information about the second that
he heard while in the classroom, which should have made it clear it was
an attack. He remained in the classroom to finish the story with the
children, and did not leave immediately.
