Before he got in the School? Nothing in what you posted there indicated he found out before he got into the school. The crap about not being able to see footage of the first hit is just that...I myself think I saw a clip of the first hit almost immediately after it happened as I recall, but certainly(questionable recollections aside) heard of a plane hitting while watching live pictures of the burn(as the article suggested would explain Bush's words).

On the one hand the story talks of the incident not having happened yet at 9 AM when, apparantly they would have me believe Bush was in he hall. On the other hand, you imply he heard about it even earlier. What, I suppose you think he ordered the attack himself?

The testimony(without a time put to it) that a gal at the school first heard the news from the President, and her reaction to hearing it, appears to be wholly consistent with the Presidents words and lack of concern on the matter. There is no reason to believe everyone at the school would have been watching the TV just because it was on(perhaps to entertain the President for a moment) as the story suggests, nor that they would have flocked to it when the President himself had assumed it was an accident.
