Re: Where Were You on September 11th 2001?
All I remember from that day was getting off the bus and walking into my house to see my mother crying while watching the news. I had very little idea of what was going on, I believe I was in kindergarten then.NHL: Chicago Blackhawks

Re: Where Were You on September 11th 2001?
I was in eight grade homeroom. I remember the teacher just turning on the tv and told us to watch. We really didn't pay attention until 3rd period when our math teacher explained what was going on. I think we all just assumed it was an accident. What's really weird is the fact that I was alive and remember what happened and know how everyone felt. Now we have teenagers who just consider it an event in history just like WW2 is to us. We don't have much emotional ties to it just like the majority of the kids today unless their families were directly impacted even then they can't really understand the magnitude of it.

Re: Where Were You on September 11th 2001?
I was in grade 2 at the time. I didn't hear about what had happened until I got home from school in the afternoon. My mom had it on the TV and I thought she was watching a movie so I asked her what it was, and she said it wasn't a movie but it was a real life news, and that a plane hit a building in New York. I thought she was joking at first, but then they started replaying it and I think that's when I finally began to realize that it was indeed real.

Re: Where Were You on September 11th 2001?
Was my JR year of high school. It was pretty early out here in the west when it happened, I hadn't even left for school yet. I was getting ready for school and my mom told me she heard about it on the radio, I didn't think much of it. I just thought, oh, that sucks for whoever's plane that was. Then she said it was an airliner and they thought it was a terrorist attack, so I put it on TV and saw the second plane hit. Didn't really have time to sit around and let it sink in, had to leave for school after a few minutes. First class was English and she mentioned it very vaguely, but class went on as usual. I think it was too early for us to realize what an historical event it turned out to be. Had AP American History after that, and he mentioned it for a few minutes too, but then went on like everything was normal. Then math...NOTHING will get math teachers off their schedule. NOTHING. Spanish teacher went on like everything was normal too. Then finally later in the afternoon, I thought, ok, someone will let me get filled in on this. Nope, chemistry teacher said 'you've all been watching all day, let's stay on schedule to keep our minds off it' I literally watched nothing about it on TV until I got home, and then it finally sank in what was going on.Comment

Re: Where Were You on September 11th 2001?
I saw a pretty good documentary on 9/11 on Netflix. It's not a conspiracy theory or anything like that (though I guess if you believed the conspiracy theories, it might tick you off), it just follows the people who had to make decisions that day and how they learned about information of the attacks. They interview a lot of high-ranking officials and there's a lot of footage from the day.
I believe it's called "9/11: A Day That Changed the World" or something like that.

I was in high school Latin class. Only took Latin because they were no verbal exams. But I was sitting in class when we got word we were in lock down. Due to being within 10 miles of Pentagon they waited to send us home til late evening.
Such a tragic day.Texas A&M Aggies

was a sophomore at Penn State and just got out of my morning physics 2 class. I see a huuuuge crowd acroas the street at.the HUB...( Student center building). People were glued to the tv and were in shock....then the 2nd plane hit and the panic set in and a lot of crying girls ensued......very surreal.

Re: Where Were You on September 11th 2001?
I was in 8th grade and my mom was driving me and my sister to school. We were listening to some radio station and the radio peeps started talking about it during the traffic/weather segment or whatever. They said something about a "plane crash that hit the Pentagon building." I honestly thought nothing of it. The way they were speaking of it, it honestly sounded more like it was a malfunctioned plane that happened to crash at that specific site (also a building I wasn't super familiar with). As far as what I heard, they made no mention of the World Trade Center.
I honestly didn't know what the World Trade Center was, building-wise. I think I had heard of the twin towers? Not sure. I know what the buildings looked like, but that was neither here nor there.
I arrive at school, and my friend runs up at me all excited (he's into war stuff, or at least PC FPS war games) and is like, "Dude, did you hear about the terrorist attacks?" I honestly didn't even put two-and-two together for a while, honestly for me the day was business as usual. They made announcements later in the day regarding it, but even still the impact was just... nothing. I had no visual, and no clear understanding of what was going on.
Then I got home that day, and CNN was obviously running it all day. Since they had already collapsed at that time, I was able to see moments of the building, smoke, and collapse as well. Frightening, bone-chilling, and completely unforgettable.
I never saw any videos of the planes hitting until I watched United 93. That movie really is special in encapsulating exactly how the day might have gone, and I appreciate Mr. Greengrass for doing that. It's a day that will truly be engraved in all of us, no matter who we are, who we know, where we were, or what we were doing.
I always have moments in my life that are just truly uneventful, and things like that always make me put myself in others' shoes, having a moment of "Is this really happening?" I can't imagine what certain people went through on that day, especially ones who lost their lives. What a tragedy. It is still an important day in this nation though, and it really has brought us together more strongly than ever.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Re: Where Were You on September 11th 2001?
I was young, preschool but I remember it clearly.
I lived in a suburb of NYC. I have an image fixed in my brain of smoke coming from the towers as I was being driven to school. School was cancelled—not that my mom would have kept driving me there.
That still picture, just smoke coming from the towers, is my earliest memory.Comment
