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?

There's another topic on this...

But anyways, I was in 8th grade in Spanish class when my teacher asked if anyone had a parent or knew someone that worked in the World Trade Center. A girl did, but we were wondering why she said that, and then she said that the tower was hit. We weren't sure what that meant, but when we went to Science, our teacher had told us what happened. We were shocked, and spent the rest of the day listening to the radio. I still couldn't believe what had happened, but when I was walking home, I saw that people were in disbelief and the hospital near where I lived looked busy. Then, when I went home and turned on the television, and all the channels had the news... It seemed unreal but I saw it happen over and over again as it was replayed on the screen...

My boyfriend was a freshman at Stuyvesant, the school near the towers, and he told me his story about what happened, and how every one was so scared and all. They could feel the vibrations as the towers fell, and saw the planes hit the buildings...
