What were you doing on 9/11?

[cocaine]

I was at school, and when I got home from school I remember watching the TV showing the towers falling down. I wasn't aware of how serious the situation was.

.. you?

[Jordie]

Yea same, i saw the pictures all over the news, horrible day :@ :(

[DaveTaylor]

i was at my child minders and the year before i have stood at the top of the twin towers and knew why they where so important but i kept asking myself why? i still do today

[Judge Judy]

I was just finishing school, walked home with friends all happy, entered home and was wondering WTH IS CBBC (I was 9) then I saw the towers fall.

[hobo]

i just remember going down stairs, it being on the news, and my dad explaining what had happened.

[spiteful]

i was in school. my dad said he was watching the news when the second tower got hit

[Nixt]

I remember all the teachers talking about it in school, some were crying lol. At the time none of us understood what it was all about but when we finished everyone was talking about it in the playground.

[hissykat]

I was at school, and i can remember me and my dad watching the news when i got home, weird day o.O

i'd been up the twin towers like 3 months before too on my bday, was weird seeing them fall.

[Slash]

i was in school, my mum told me when she picked me up. she was like "oh my god liam its world war 3!". :rolleyes:

[Smile]

i was out at dinner with family, at some restraunt, got home and saw the news, we were like :O!

[Digital]

I was at school all day but I seen the news straight away when I got home

[-Soph-]

I was at drayton manor, I didnt find out until I got home really late..
I don't remember my reaction really, I was quite young at the time and didn't really understand it.

[shiver]

at school, didn't hear anything until i got home. i was kinda worried that something would happen near to where i live aswell (when I found out)

[uh huh her]

I was at school, and when I got home from school I remember watching the TV showing the towers falling down. I wasn't aware of how serious the situation was.

.. you?
same. was in year 5, i still remember the day after at school, we had tributes and all. i wasn't aware either, but now im older it makes you think more about what the worlds coming to.

[laurenx]

uhm well I was at my childminders & me & my friend were just staring at the news for ages, & my heart started to beat really fast for some reason. weird day really.

[MsTanya]

i was in school. the other day in english we watched the recordings of it. we saw the plane hit the 1st tower & i swear to god the sound of the people jumping out the windows & hitting the floor was like something ive never heard before, all day after it i was proper like :|:|:|:|

[-Wolverine]

I was in school I believe during 'Music' class, where we had to sing songs really stupid class.. Then we had the morning announcements and the principal announced it, and everyone was shocked. Then instead of having math that day we got to watch CNN and see what happened.

[-Soph-]

same. was in year 5, i still remember the day after at school, we had tributes and all. i wasn't aware either, but now im older it makes you think more about what the worlds coming to.

I would of been in yr4 then..

I remember going to school the next day, nobody knew what to say. I don't know if anyone was told whilst in school the day before, because I didn't go in that day.

[uh huh her]

I would of been in yr4 then..

I remember going to school the next day, nobody knew what to say. I don't know if anyone was told whilst in school the day before, because I didn't go in that day.
our school wasn't, we went home & the news was on when we got in, so we knew something big must of happened. plus it happened quite late (UK time) in the day. about 2ish i think.

[-Soph-]

Yeah it was around 2,
Its definatly means more now i'm older and can understand it more, When I was younger and it happened all I knew really was 4 planes had crashed purposly into buildings etc. And the people who did it were bad.

[the wombats]

i was in yr7 at skl. i never really saw it as a big problem i dnt think. i forgot

[-internal]

i was in school and people were sayin these 2 towers had fell down (no one actually knew what happened) but i was like trade what towers only until a got home realised what and where it had happened

[F32]

I was in year 6, I just drew schwastikers all over my arms because I got told it was the nazi's and this was the only way to protect us.

[Nixt]

I remember one of the people in my class had gone to America the same day of the crashes, he didn't go anywhere near New York but we all thought he was on the plane and we were well scared.

[Dan2nd]

I was at school I remember my tutor telling us I ddn't even know what the World Trade Center was..

[Azul]

I was at home, don't know why. A mate told me on MSN.

[brapbrap]

I was at school, came home and some asian lady came running out and said to my mum shouting:

"THE AMERICANS, THEYVE DONE IT" and ran off somewhere.

she was obviously happy about it all and i believe some/most muslims were pleased.


Call me racist, its an opinion

[irresistible]

i was at school at the time, and then i got home and my mum/dad explained.

[Kenneth]

I was like in dunno grade and wasnt alowed to turn on the tv when I got home.

[simon!]

I came in from school, just as they showed the replay of the towers going down, I was just in shock and my mum was watching and she just didn't speak.
Then the next day in school thats all everyone was talking about, saying "My uncles out there..." Blah blah blah... Whether they were telling the truth I don't know but my auntie was out there on holiday at the time, thats why my mum didn't say anything. Luckily my auntie was nowhere near the place.

[RedStratocas]

At school, and they treated us like 5 year olds not telling us anything. They just said 2 planes hit the twin towners and the pentagon, and thats it. I live 2 hours from new york, so I think its our right to know?

I remember getting home with my brother, and my parents were downstairs watching the news and we said "why are you guys home already? did you hear about the planes?" and they said thats why they're home early. They got let out early of work, like most big business places, especially in cities.

I was 11, and I grasped the fact that these were bad people that did it and how many people died, but I didnt grasp how big of an event this really was. Its only been 5 years, so I cant say it for certainty, but in history itll probably one of the, if not THE biggest event in U.S. history. I kind of wish I were older when it happened, at least 14 or 15. I would have grasped it almost 100% then, which probably would have had an incredibly emotional effect on me. When it happened I thought it would be old news in a week, but it was all anyone could talk about for the next year.

[womanizer]

school..

[brandon]

I wasn't in school dunno why, and I watched the second one get crashed into on the news, as they were saying about the first.
I was like 8

[DiscoPat]

I honestly dont remmember

[Ramones]

i was walking home from school, got in and stupid news flashes were on so i missed the usual cbbc programs, i wasn't happy.

[CrabRacket]

I was in year 4 playing tennis in a club. I only heard from a blonde haired boy named Sam. The news NEVER stopped me from playing... NEVER!

[Ostinato]

I remember I got home from school and for some reason that day I didn't turn the tv on when I got in. It's really weird cause every day after school I would put it on, and I can't for the life of me remember why, but for some reason - that day I never.

Then my brother got home from work and told me to put on channel 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. I'm like =S

I didn't really understand, and to be perfectly honest, had never heard of the world trade centres before. I knew it was a big event and it was extremely terrible - but in recollection I don't think I fully grapsed just how serious and deadly it was.

[dirrty]

i cant remember tbh.

all i know was i was at school and went home after. september 11th is the birthday of 2 girls i know aswell

[Kenneth]

I forgot my dad was on a flight to NY when it happened and we were scared but it wasnt his.

[velvet]

I was in year 6, I just drew schwastikers all over my arms because I got told it was the nazi's and this was the only way to protect us.

LOL!

and yeah, I think I was at school, I didn't really understand it though.

[clarissa !!]

i was at home, my dad was in new york, i didnt really understand how bad it was.

[Yoshimitsui]

I was at school, like above i didant really think it was that bad untill i saw all the vidoe clips and the planes, it was awfull.

[bo$$]

Well. I woke up and went to school and some kid was like "the twin towers blew up" or fell w/e. And I was like.. .so? and then my teacher talked about it and was saying how it was like the tallest buildings in the world and I was like.. hmm.. that sucks. But then when I got home I turned on the tv and about.. over half the channels had it on and I was like DAMNNN and then it was after that through all the new reports that I realized how bad it was and how depressing it was.

[:Hazel]

i was at school then went footy training and came back to see it all on news.

[lew!]

its weird, when your little you dont understand things. When your older you know.

I was at school and i can remember comming home and my mum sitting on the sofa crying, i looked at the tv and i can still remember the red Sky News: TWIN TOWERS COLLAPSE - TERRORIST ATTACK

[Ekalb]

It happened early in the morning I think...
I was woken up earlier than normal and we were watching Sky news or whatever came on Optus then and were like OH MY GOD.. Wait - what's a twin tower?
But yeah, all we did was watch the news and at school heaps of exagerations were flying around. A PLANE RAN INTO NEW YORK AND BLEW IT UP etc.
For the next probably 2 weeks everybody got up early to turn on the news and watch the same footage be played over and over, and then a few days later the war being declaired/beginning.

[foxyfox00]

I was asleep when they came down but as soon as I woke up it was all over the tv on every channel, kind of surreal going to school and thinkin ghow much it had changed peoples lives. That night the Prime Minister took over the tv and the same adress was playing on the different channels

[mat64]

I was coming home from school at the time. Can remember taking my friend home in the car then his mum coming out to say what had happend, As many other I didn't know what It was or Why it was so serious.

[louder]

I was at school, and when I got home from school I remember watching the TV showing the towers falling down. I wasn't aware of how serious the situation was.

.. you?

same.
i was only like 8.

[CustomHabbo]

I was home sick when it happened. I live right on the shore of nj. I have a perfect view of nyc (right near sandy hook). I didnt get to see the first plane or the second crash but i saw both of the building collapse. I feel weird saying this but i acally cried while watching. Friends dad died in it.

Im still scared to see the movie World trade Center

[scubadiva]

I was celebrating my Dad's bday. I remember the house looking all nice and happy with Happy Birthday banners up, and watching the destruction on the news :(

[Kardan]

I was in a maths lesson with Miss Kelly :rolleyes:

[PigsNose]

I had a friend round and I was like six or seven or something. And I remember watching the towers falling, I had no idea it was that much of a deal untill I was older.

[samsaBEAR]

i was at school, and then i came home and moaned about how i couldnt watch what i wanted to watch
i didnt understand then

[alexxxxx]

At primary school, came home and saw it on TV.

[MsTanya]

i was at school, and then i came home and moaned about how i couldnt watch what i wanted to watch
i didnt understand then
i remember doing that too, it was on every single channel all night

[piddle2k6]

I was at footy training straight after school but when my friends mum came and picked me up she told me. i kinda guessed somehting bad was going on as all the teachers were acting really stressy that day and strict aswell

[Luckyrare]

I was at school, my mum comes pick me up and says "GET IN THE CAR!!111"... I was like "k."

Then we watched tv, then they fell down. I was almost shaking when the London bombings happened. My dad was in the area at the time.

[Papershop]

I was watching the news in english, cos my english teacher is mad

[Tristan]

I was in school.
At the end of school I listened to my Teacher speak to this parent about it happening. Saw it on the news at home.

[Kymux]

I was at school, and when I got home from school I remember watching the TV showing the towers falling down. I wasn't aware of how serious the situation was.

.. you?

[Cajak]

I was in Munich (Deutschland) when this happened. I was 8 and I was watching TV. I knew what was happening and I watched the Special Report with my mother, she was crying I think.

[beer]
