Five years ago, on Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks changed the world — and Baldwin City — forever. Everyone will remember where they were when hijacked airplanes slammed into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and another plane intended to hit the Whitehouse was commandeered and crashed in Pennsylvania. Tom Mundinger, Baldwin Elementary School Intermediate Center principal, recalls it like it was yesterday. “That day is still very vivid in my memory,” said Mundinger. “I can remember being in the school office that morning at the start of school as word was coming in. We turned on the TV in the library and watched along with the rest of the country as the news was shown live over the news channels. “I can remember thinking after the first plane hit what a terrible accident,” he said.
