The five-year anniversary of 9/11 has arrived. Care to share your stories? I'll start with mine.


I was in fifth grade, and we already had a half day scheduled. They didn't tell us what had happened. There didn't even seem to be tension in the school, or maybe I just didn't notice it. I remember walking around the perimeter of my schoolyard during recess, and randomly, I began to sing the "Mishaberach" to myself, which is a song we sing in Temple praying for the healing of mind and spirit.

When I got home, my mom was still in her exercise wear, squatting right in front of the TV, licking peanut butter off a spoon. I laughed and joked, "Oh, now you like watching TV, huh?" (She always picked on me for watching too much TV at that time.) She calmly told me no and explained what had happened.

That afternoon, as I went around the neighborhood for our school fundraiser, I predicted that everyone would be watching it on TV. And, of course, they were. I just find it creepy that I had a sudden urge to sing the "Mishaberach" even though I didn't know what had happened.


What's your story?

I was sitting in General Science class where I have a full view of the World Trade Center. I see a missile type object crashing into the building. I told my teacher who at that time happened to be Dr. Czelozick. He immedietely called the school's office. While I was sitting on my desk, I noticed one of the buildings collapsed, after that I was speechless. It didn't seem possible, like I still don't find it possible, but it happened, so the whole school had an assembly in the gym, and we got dismissed. The next day, school was closed.
