I wanted to take this time and thread to remember 9/11. 10 years later...

I stayed home from school that day. I was in my grandmother's livingroom watching tv. I was either watching Regis and Kelly or whatever filled that 9:00 spot on ABC. Colored bars appeared on the tv and they were soon replaced with the Twin Towers. One had black smoke coming out of it. I yelled for my grandmother to come look. They replayed what had happened and minutes later another plane had crashed into the other tower. I was just a kid then and I didn't know what was going on, except that these two towers had been hit by planes. I just remember feeling sorry for the people on that plane and for the people who were trapped inside the towers.

My heart goes out to all of the men and women who lost their lives that day and to their families and friends.


Where were you that day and what was your experience?





*I know it's not for another 3 days, but I still haven't seen a thread for it pop up yet.

You haven't seen a thread for it because it's not for another 3 days. You answered your own question.

I was gonna post in my 'Remembering:' thread on the day itself but you beat me to it.

I can't really remember where was I during that time but I remember at how amazed I was that they were able to capture the whole thing on record. I was like "How did they know it was gonna crash?" lmao!

I was only 7 years old.

I was in 6th Grade when this happened. I was actually in class and the principal made an announcement through the intercom. He let us out of class early.

I was 13 when 9/11 occurred, and the first plane struck close to 7 AM where I was. I remember being in my kitchen eating breakfast before school and there was a TV in the next room with the news on. While I was eating, the news of 9/11 came on and my parents were absolutely horrified. I was simply shocked. I think school was canceled due to that, but regardless my parents told me that I wasn't going to school after they sat and watched the news for a bit. Then for the rest of the day we were all in shock and sat in the living room, quiet and motionless.

Yeah, there were cameras all over the place that day. I look at videos on youtube and people caught it from all angles of the city.

I was in sixth grade.

I remember being scared that something horrible was wrong with somebody's parents because all the teachers were panicked and crying. I thought a serial killer had killed all of our parents.

When they pulled us into the library to tell us the news they said "Two buildings, The Twin Towers *Which I had no idea what they were at the time* were struck by planes", I was like oh thank god my mom isn't hurt...

I was young at the time Looking back it on youtube I find it fascinating so I kinda wish I understood it all better around the time it happened.

I was12 years old, and I heard about it from my dad, who said he heard about it on the radio. I got to school, and one of my teachers told us he was suppose to be on one of those planes.

I also remember going home after school, and seeing all the news coverage for it.

I can't I was 4 years old.. I was so young (and I am)

I understand this horrible tragedy like 5 years ago

I remember it was 9 years and 362 days ago.

i live in australia so because of time zones etc, i had gone to bed when it happened. but i remember waking up the next day at like 6:30am (so about 8hrs after it happened) to watch playschool and spongebob (i was 7 years old). and i was like, why aren't cartoons on and my parents' eyes were glued to the tv. my mum was crying because they kept re-showing footage of the towers collapsing and people jumping out of the windows, and they were also showing footage of women/ men on the street looking for their loved ones, holding up pictures and asking everyone if they'd seen their family members

i didn't really understand much at the time, all i was thinking was that i wanted cartoons to come on

R.I.P. to all who died and all soldiers and civilians who died in the ensuing war.

This day was an emotional whirlwind for my family. My dad in in the Marines so my mom was freaking out about the fact that he might be going to war at any given second.

Then Pat Robertson blamed the whole thing on gays and feminists on the 700 club.

Every single one of his interns got an earful from my mother.

Countless more have died by the hands of the US military yet no one remembers them. But 10 years after the fact people still drag this out as if it were the most horrific tragedy of all time. Nothing wrong with mourning but let's cut the ****.

I Agree with This, I Mean, a lot of more tragic stuff has happened AFTER and BEFORE 9-11, In and Out Of The US, I mean i don't get why this is the most dragged

They talk about 9-11 Below,

they filmed everything! they went in the world trade center while it was burning!

I have no memories of that day. I wasn't even nine at the time.
