honestly now? no thread?

 

 

Since it was at like 5AM here, I was sleeping. Woke up and before I went to school I heard something about some kind of tragedy. I thought something happened like the president being shot. Got to school, the teacher was talking about it, one girl was flipping out because her grandma lived in NYC.. Didn't really get freaked out by it, a 7 year old isn't going to really comprehend terrorism. But for like a year whenever I'd see a plane I'd run into a building.

I was SUPER little when it happened. I was in pre-school still. I don't remember much, but I remember an announcement came over the speakers that freaked out no one but the teachers. They got us all into the auditorium and played the Lion King. Our parents came and picked us up early. I was thrilled until I found out why. My dad had been on a buissiness trip to NYC when it happened, so I was starting to get scared, but he called my mom and she told us that he was alright. At the time it hadn't been too big a deal--being four or so, terrorism made no sense to me all. Of course, now, I feel bad, because my mom was bawling and I hadn't understood why. I'd been pretty blunt, actually. :s

it happened when I was around six, I don't remember it to well.

I don't remember much, but I was in pre school when it happened. The teachers told us that the twin towers were destroyed in New York but I didn't know what the twin towers were at first, and then I asked my mom and dad and they told me that they were the two major towers in New York and they were attacked by terrorists, then I started freaking out :S

I was little when that happened.I just remembered the entire school freaking out and the teachers were all in the loundge watching the TV.My mom then explained to me what happened and I really didn't understood until they explaned it to me again a few years later.

I had JUST turned four when it happened. Like, three days after.

 

There I was on my little high chair, just playing some kind of Elmo computer game or whatever when I heard my grandma start to panic in the other room.

 

Don't remember much else about it.

On the bus moving towards my 3rd or 5th day of 1st grade. I didn't fully understand what happened until I was 7. Although I remember asking my Dad if he was ok when he came home as I barely remember hearing of a plane crashing into a building on that day. I would later realize that it was the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

I was in 6th grade watching a movie in the library when it happened. Someone came in and said something about a plane flying into a building, so our Librarian cut the movie off and switched it to Fox News just in time to see the second plane hit.

I was 5 and I didnt know what was going on.

Basically that's it

To tell the truth, I don't remember that at all, and Brazil is quite far so it can't have caused that many trouble to us.

I was 6 and I remember coming downstairs to see both of my parents crying on the couch.

 

I'm actually really glad that I don't remember that day, because who wants to clearly remember a terrorist attack?

i was three i remember being in preshool and my pre-K teacher running in screaming "the towers were on fire." by then i didnt know what it meant but now it makes me sad not understanding.

Well it was a month after I left New York... so yeah. I was in school.

at school like normal, or asleep, i'm not sure

the day after the UK got to know about it.

I was either in Pre-school or Kindergarten (I was 4, I know that). I don't remember it at all. I have seen videos of the towers falling (teachers showed us a year or two ago on the anniversary) and I was awestruck. I know it would have been terrifying to have seen it actually happen, and I am glad I don't remember the day.

I was asleep (hey i live in Australia). My grandparents called up like 6am to tell us someone flew a plane into the world trade center in NYC. Pretty unbelievable really...

Wondering where the hell Cheez TV was.

I hated when Cheez TV wasn't on.

I was asleep as well.

(Cheez TV was like a group of cartoons that were played in the morning in Australia. It had like dragon ball z and stuff. Quality show)

It also had Pokemon, Beyblade, Yu-Gi-Oh, Transformers, TMNT and many other good shows.

Sadly it replaced by something lame.

I think my teacher started crying when 9/11 happened. o-o

I was like "WTF?" And I actually didn't find out what exactly happened till a day or two later and then I really didn't understand 'terrorism' until maybe 2 years later ._.

I remember I was in school (In Italy) and it was on news it was a big thing I didn't understand it until I got older... Very sad. God bless the ones who lost thier live's and the to the ones who lost their loved ones.

I was really too you young to fully understand what was happening. But even at that age, 4, I knew something bad had happened.

I was always the early bird in our home, waking up before anyone else. Same went for that morning.

I turned the TV on, and all I got was CNN.

First thing I saw? The tower collapsing. And the dreadful screams that ran through the air on live TV.

I set my cereal down on the table, and rushed to mom, waking her up.

"Mom?". I said to her,

"Yes, Josiah... what?" she replied:

"Something bad happened."

I was in my classroom when it happened we sat there and watched it right in class. I don't think I really got what was happening because I was so young.

Well, I was at school, 5th grade (so like 11 or 12, who knows), and...well I was in the bathroom when it happened. When I left, everything was all fine and dandy, after I did my thing and got back, everyone was watching it on the TV in dead silence. So yeah, that's where I was when it happened, on the toilet.

I was in 4th grade in Mathematics or English class (forgot which one). I was not really that young like all of you and I remember it, but our teacher's cellphone rang and she answered it and dropped it on the floor after a few seconds of talking to the person on the other end. We (the class) were all pretty shocked by her reaction and was wondering what the hell was going on, the teacher suddenly yelled at one of the students to get a TV out of the supply closet (the TVs and equipment were on a roller) and they hurried to plug the TV in and turned it on. I forgot what News channel it was on but I just remember hearing the cries from the teacher and the rest of my classmates then and the long eerie silence in the room. I remember seeing people falling out of the building through the smoke and debris and how everything looked so small that day compared to the horrific gaping, fiery holes in the World Trade Center towers.
