what's your 9/11 memory? Options

[*lolita kitty*]

well, as julia stated, tommorow is september 11th. so my question is, what was your 9/11 memory? by this, i mean, where were you when you found out? what else happened that day? here's mine:

i was in 4th grade. it was first period or something like that. they were starting to say the morning announcements, and then our principal was like "the twin towers have been knocked down". something along those lines. the whole day i was really confuzed, because i had no clue what the twin towers were. in social studies, my teacher turned on the tv and we just watched the news, the whole period. i remember a few kids at school crying that day too >.>. when i got home that day, i turned on the tv, and every single news channel had the story on it. me and my dad talked about it for awhile, and he explained what the twin towers were and such.

er- yeah. that was my 9/11. what was yours?

7th grade. 1st period. it's 20 minutes into class. assistance principal comes in. gets the teacher over. he goes over to turn on the TV.

assistance principal says "the twin towers have been bombed. or, actually komikazied."

we were the only class that was allowed to watch it, because we were the 'smart class' and could 'handle it'

yea right.

while we were watching, the reports that the pentagon was bombed (didn't know it was a plane then) came.

of course we told the rest of the school, so by homeroom almost everyone knew.

teachers weren't allowed to turn on the TV, but in the office they had a TV on so every period we'd get reports of what was happening.

one teacher informed studnets that because of the army base, we had been right after new york and DC on the soviet nuclear strike list.

stupid 6th grades morph the story into 'they're going to bomb our school next'

and there were students freaking out...

like one kid's dad was supposed to be on a plane in new york

and then anther had an uncle in the pentagon. he was pulled out of the rubble a few days later.
