What do you remember from September 11th 2001 in YOUR life?

I don’t remember much. I think I was in the first grade at the time and I remember my mom talking about it and seeing something about it on the news and everyone else at school were even talking about it. I didn’t understand it as much at the time like I do now

I was in school & they turned on the TVs i the classroom, and my teacher started crying, and they were thinking about doing a lockdown, and then i remember my parents picking me up :/ I didnt understand what happend.

I was in 6th grade.. I remember not really understanding exactly what happened, and then at school they told us in the morning and said we’d be in trouble if they heard us talking about it..

I remember It like it was yesterday. I was working on a Commercial building project downtown Portland, And we were listening to the reports on the radio. Fter we found out that both towers were knocked down, I looked up at the Bank corp tower (portland tallest Skyscraper at a whopping 44 stories), and trying to realize two towers three times that size coming down and the power of that. I remember an emotional President, and how he tried hard to console victims, Deliver relief, gather inteligence, unify nations, protect Muslims, and Instill confidence in Americans, all the while trying to figure out who’s a$$ America needed to kick. I still believe we had the President we needed at the time, and New York Definitely had the right Mayor.

I was in Catholic high school and we were having mass. The priest got up in front of the student body and told us all that the twin towers had been hit. We all sat confused for a few minutes and then he got back up there and said the pentagon had just been hit. Since our school was in DC and fairly close to the pentagon, they closed school early. I remember going back to our homerooms and watching it happen on tv over and over again. Some kids laughed, some kids cried, some ditched homeroom to go smoke pot in the park across the street. I remember not being able to get through to anyone over the cell phone. The whole day was quite surreal. The sky was infested with helicopters and planes.

I was really young at that age,but I saw the news on television,I remembered.I didn’t know much at that time. But now I know a lot about it,and whenever I watch anything related to it,it drives me to tears. That was really sad part and it all happened because people(let’s say them people) were jealous of USA.

why would you be in trouble for talking about it?

you know what is weird, for 9-11 i was home sick that day. it was weird and then we were attacked. but several yrs b4 for the oklahoma city bombing, i was home again sick from school. but ill always remember that horrible day.

I didn’t really understand it at the time. But here’s something interesting- I know a girl who’s family were meant to be on that flight. They were all at the airport and some complications arose with one of their passports which resulted in them missing the flight. How freaky is that?

I remember my parents caught me skipping school and then they forced me to go and when I got there the school was closed. I remember going home and watching the news all day. They didnt reopen my high school for a week.

I remember I was in 2nd grade. I got up and got dressed and ready for school like any other day. When I got to school it was fine but then the principal made an announcement to turn on the news. So my teacher did and watched it. Then my parents came and got me and we watched it all day. That day was sad fro me because I have an Uncle Bruce who lived in New York at that time and we were supposed to go visit him. We were gonna leave right after lunch. Mama and daddy was gonna come get me. But we didn’t go because of all the bombings. But my Uncle Bruce is fine. He didn’t get hurt and now he lives in GA.

I was in a first grade classsroom and my teacher was pulled out in the hallway and started crying. They wouldnt say what happened or turn on any tv’s since we were little.

I was very young so i dont rember much but i rember my mom freekin out and cryn while wachn the news for hours. i had no idea wat was goin on but i was scared

since im not in the US, i just heard it from the news. But that day is equally important to me because it was the day i thought i was gonna die; i was confined in the hospital for dengue fever which was rampant in our place during that time and where a lot have died. My dad brought me newspapers and gave me the sad news of 9/11.

I was only in 3rd grade , my mom was watching the president give the announcement that the twin towers had been hit , I didn’t understand why she was had such a strange look on her face , then the day after the school had a ceremony for the people that died.
