September 11 elementary school visit by George W. Bush
The September 11 attacks in 2001 coincided with United States president George W. Bush visiting Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida. As he was reading the book The Pet Goat by Siegfried Engelmann in front of a class of students, Bush was informed by Andrew Card that a second plane had crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center. Bush's decision to continue reading for seven minutes before a scheduled press conference at the school was the subject of analysis. The press conference marked Bush's first public comments on the attack.
