The President was put onto Air Force One: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/09/were-the-onl...

From there, he was taken to STRATCOM, which was in an underground bunker: https://www.ketv.com/article/tracing-president-bushs-path-at...

She may have a better time finding students who are more emotionally connected at a school other than Stanford.

There's also the fact that this was written 20 years after the event, and most college students are around the ages of 18-25. You can't remember an event you were born after, and most people don't remember much that happened before they were about 5. If you were 5 or less when it happened, you may not have even known that it happened for some time, depending on where you lived, how your parents handled it, and if you were in a daycare/school setting, what you got from others there.

He was with the kids when it happened. THEN they hustled him into the plane, and took him to a bunker.
