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 8th grade, in my science class, which overlooks the East River in Queens and has a good view of the towers. None of us saw the first plane hit, but we all saw the fire that ensued. Then, I caught a brief glimpse of the second plane going through the second tower.

All of us watched the towers come down, and we all saw the huge plumes of smoke and dust as they spread out all over the place.

In the few days afterward, the winds were blowing smoke and dust east towards Queens, so the air was really hazy and had a horrible smell to it.

That's pretty much my 9/11 memory.
