Where were you on 9/11/01?

10-year anniversary coming up. Where were you when the world stopped turning?

[Taggerung_of_Redwall]

Don't remember. My memory seems to desert me even at only ten years ago.
Something I want to throw out there quick-like and recommend:
Almost two weeks ago, Sujo John, a survivor of the attacks, spoke to my church. You can find that video here, entitled "Out from the Rubble".

[Log-a-Log]

I was very young when it happened, I think I was 3 or 4, but I can still can remember it clearly. I remember not thinking it was real, like it was some sort of movie or something

[Redwall Musician]

I was so young, I don't even remember anything. It was just a normal day, at least to me. I was probably just playing and being that bossy little kid I was.

I remember it very clearly. It happened during the night Australian time, so I got up in the morning and found my parents watching the news.

I recall being at kindergarten, then coming home to my mother being so scared because my uncle lived in New York at the time. He wasn't anywhere near the towers when it happened, Thank God.

I was nine years old, and in fourth grade.  I was in the fifth grade classroom that morning because I was at an upper grade reading level.  They brought a TV into the classroom, and we were all excited because in the past, a TV had always meant we were going to watch a movie.  But it wasn't a movie; they turned on a live broadcast of the attacks.  They had first turned it on after the first plane had hit the tower, and not long afterward, we saw the second plane hit.  I remember they didn't have much footage, so they kept looping the same clips over and over: the towers smoking, people screaming and crying and running, and eventually of the towers collapsing.  We were still a bit young to fully comprehend the massive scale of what was happening, but we knew that something bad was going on.  

I don't really remember the rest of the school day, but I remember that evening we went to my grandparent's house to hook up their new TV.  The first thing we saw on it was news coverage about the attacks, and that was pretty much the only thing on TV or in the newspapers for at least a month, as far as I can remember.  On the way home, my dad explained to me about the attacks: the lives lost, what it meant for the US, and that's when I first really understood how huge it was.

I attended a private Christian school for sixth grade. We had just gotten started with our weekly chapel meeting (we were in Matthew chapter 5, I believe) when we got word that a plane had hit one of the Twin Towers, and a second one was on a collision a course with the other one. It was a shock to all of us.

I was four years old, locked in my bedroom because my parents didn't want me to watch what was happening on TV. Recently, I've been watching old recorded news footage of it, though.

[White One6193]

I was in third grade, just about to get off my bus for school, when my friend Teegan Rogers came up yelling that the Twin Towers had just been bombed...

[Lutra]

At the time the planes hit I was in AP English, and saw all the footage in the high school cafeteria.  We continued watching it in sociology class in the afternoon.  Nobody in the class really knew what was going on at that moment.

I was about three, and it happened at nighttime for us, so I was in bed. My dad was a little shaken by it, but he acted normally around us so we didn't know anything happened. I only found out about it when I was about 9 or 10.

Woh woh woh - what actually happened?
I was a baby at the time.

[Redwall Musician]

I asked my mom what I was doing on 9/11. She said we were at home doing nothing. Sigh. I don't remember anything!
