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?

I was in 10th grade, in Honors World Cultures. About 9:15 a teacher came in and whispered something to my teacher, who turned on the TV, and we spent the rest of the class (until 9:40) watching the coverage. I then went to German, which didn't have cable, until 10:30, and then I went to math. It was then that I learned the towers had collapsed.

It was really surreal to me. The weekend before I had actually visited the World Trade Center, and had gone to the roof. I couldn't stop thinking about how they had been there, solidly, just a week ago, and now they were gone. I remembered so many little things about them, that it felt like losing a person, not a building. I also kept thinking about the elevator operators and ticket collectors I had met along the way, and wondered if they had been working that morning.
