Where were you on 9/11/2001?

[rjmhotrod]

I stayed home from work that day to babysit our two young daughters. As we watched the news coverage we saw the first tower fall and I stood there saying "Oh no, no!!" My oldest daughter who was 3 years old at the time kept asking me what was wrong - she was obviously distraught seeing her dad upset. Fast forward 5 years to tonight, we were at the dinner table. My oldest daughter was praying for the food and also prayed that "there would be no terrorists on our flight on Thursday". We are flying to Idaho on Thursday. I wondered back in 2001 if she would remember that day for the rest of her life even though it happened at such a young age. I know I'll never forget it.

i was a sophomore in high school...i remember waking up and hearing about it on the radio, thinking that it was a cessna or something small hitting one of the towers...when i got to school i walked into a room with the tv on and they were saying that it was a 767 that hit the towers and that the other tower just got hit as well as the pentagon...after that, i just remember one of the teachers telling us "today is a turning point in history"

first day of school for me... didnt even know what happened until i got to school and heard everyone.

 

[sephiroth]

was walking into my science class when I was in 8th grade. My teacher had the radio on for the first 5minuites of class or so before he turned it off (the ass-hat..) Though I can remember everything about those first 5 minuites of class, what I was wearing, exactly what I said, what my teacher was wearing, how crappy the classrooms were in those trailers (schools around where I had lived were waaay over-populated and half the classes were outside in trailers) It was about 11:30-12:00 a.m. so both towers had already collapsed.

i just moved to LA at the end of august. i had no job (and didn't find one for a few months) and my roommate came busting in my room at 7-ish in the morning. "we're under attack! they flew a plane into the wtc!" i shot up and watched tv the rest of the day.

that night i drove to san diego (parents anniversary is on the 12th). i've never seen the LA freeway so empty. the LA to SD drive usually takes 2.5-3 hours... i got to my parents house in an hour and a half.

Wow, I just figured it was one of those moments where you know the course of events you're watching will go down in history.

It stays with you and you remember details about that day...
