Perhaps I'm reading into it too much. But, I would expect some sort of facial reaction and perhaps a quick question regarding the nature of the situation. But, it's water under the bridge now.

If it wasn't important as you suggest, why did they tell him right away? Why not wait till after the class presentation? Secondly, is it normal procedure to immediately advise the president whenever there is a plane crash?

<<<if you are the supposed leader of the free world and you are speaking to some tiny kids, I believe you are coached to be calm no matter what the announcement.>>> If you are the supposed leader of the free world, you have a grave responsibility to protect your nation which takes precedence over reading lessons. "Calm" is an expected quality in a world leader, apathy is not. What one would expect to see from the President of the United States upon being notified the nation is under attack by terrorists, as confirmed by a second strike, is to calmly excuse himself from the classroom and send in an aid with his apologies for having to leave early. To suggest any other response is appropriate is ludicrous.
