Do you remember where you were on 9/11?

I was a little kid back then. I was doing something just outside my house. I got thirsty so I ran home for something to drink. My grandma was watching the news and she told me to come over. I was staring in shock at the TV even though I didn't know where all this was happening. 10 seconds later I went back to what I was doing.

I was in high school not sure what grade but every damn class I had we got the option to do work or watch the crazy shit that just happened. We chose to watch the crazy shit that just happened obviously.

I was at home watching tv and i though those special effects are awesome.

I was on the plane that crashed into the East Twin Tower.

Im a ghost.

lolz

I was in my 6th grade math class. I was a little shocked, but mostly apathetic and glad to not have to do work that day. It's difficult to remember my exact mindset at the time. I remember thinking that it didn't look real, or it looked like a demolition.

on my couch laughing my ass off

I was in the South furiously sucking my mother's nipples.
I think I was about 37 then.

I was in school, they all sat us down to talk about it, but at that age, I wasn't able to understand the significance of the event. I had heard about the figures of deaths we did to our own people by starting unneccisary wars, and didn't understand why it was much worse than that.

P.E. class in 5th grade. No one would tell us what was going on and said that our parents need to tell us. I remember being mad no one told us what was going on

I was 39. (Yes, I know I am an old pervert on here.) We were watching events unfold on Dispatcher's television.

Got home from school to see the news reports on the tv. I was too young to really make know how much of a big deal it was.

I was in Boeing 767 .

I can remember being a 6th grade health class and my mom coming to get me out of school that day, then going home and seeing it on the "news media loop" all day. At the time I didn't fully comprehend what happened, but I knew something bad had happened. Heck, a dozen years later and I still don't fully comprehend what would make a person want to do such a thing.

Wow, sorry you had to see it so close. I was still in school and went round to my Grandparents house after school and my Grandpa was sat there looking very serious and watching the TV. I looked at the TV and saw that image of the grey smoke against the blue sky and could tell it was serious, obviously. I asked my grandpa what had happened and he just said, "Some very horrible people have done a very horrible thing in America." He had to simplify it at that point as I was quite young. God, I actually have slight goosebumps thinking about it. It's still hard to believe really.

Yep. Highschool freshman, not too many events stand out from highschool for me by now, but with 9/11 I can remember the class I was in when I heard about it and everything. Weird because 9/11 is not directly relevant to my life at all. It's just the annual reminders we get that enforces the memory, I think.

I was in 5th grade math class I think, they brought tvs in the rooms and had the news on but wouldn't say anything, just staring at the tvs with panicked look, I guess they thought we could figure it out for ourselves... one guy the usual class clown type was crying, kept saying his family was there. i didn't know what was going on but I didnt say anything

I was 24 and working on an a MS exchange server I had to optimise. I will never forget how I was suddenly told "something" was happening. Then the CNN site only mentioned that, no matter the link.
I have never totally recovered from it and still feel like crying.

I was 11 and in art class. I remember my teacher announcing it to us in tears.

I was 18 and my friend called me to turn on the tv to see it. Later we went to a record store to sale shirts and patches of bands and were talking to the worker about it.

Crazy thing was my mom and I had came back from Hawaii that Sunday and that happened 2 days later on Tuesday.

I was in the 1st grade and as mom was taking us up the driveway to wait on the bus with me and my brother, she told me that she saw one of the planes flying low above us. I didn't really remember much else except her telling me that. I don't remember how I felt or reacted.

Was putting my socks on in the sitting room, watching it on television before I left for school. Don't remember what I was thinking though.

I was 13, I missed school that day- overslept. I woke up and heard it all over the radio, thinking "Why is everyone playing the same thing?" Then went out to the living room where my now ex-stepdad was sitting and asked him what was going on. He was quite callous, so Ii didn't think much of it. He said it was "just some buildings" and that "they wouldn't be doing anything at school". Then we sat there and watched the news reports of what had just taken place because "Well, there's nothing else on". So a part of me didn't think it was a big deal, but I kept wondering about it.
The next day I went to school, then the shock set in. Over the course of the next several days, I'd been told a girl who road my bus lost both of her parents on one of the planes, and our English teacher had told us how we would be affected by this when we were older. As that first week unfolded I started realizing how bad this really was, as well as how stupid and horrible people like my stepdad were- and it set something off in me.

imagine that reality is everyday for some people

Yeah I was at my grandmothers house, eating breakfast, waiting to go to school. In the middle of eating she turns on the news and tells me about it. I didn't really understand what she was saying as I was six, but we didn't have school that day which was awesome.

I was quite young, but I remember seeing it on TV only shortly after the incident.

Nope.

I was too young to pick up on anything much. I was only six or seven.

I remembered that morning. I got up in the morning and went to the dining room for breakfast, turned on the radio and heard that a plane flew into a building. I noticed the rest of my family were in the living room watching television and there, I saw the horrible images.

This is was in New Zealand so this occurred early morning for us so we were basically getting up to the news. I went to school that morning and people were just shocked that something like this happened.

I was in grade school and I think I was 8 I believe.

How can the media let me forget? I was at work, at a gas station that now has another owner, doing minor labor. It was a dead end job.
