What were you doing on 9/11?

[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.

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!

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.

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!
